Finger Permutations
This lesson we look at how finger permutations can be used to create a meditative exercise to help with finger co-ordination and independence.
Finger Permutations
These sequences work through all the possible finger combinations in two, three and four-note lines. They are designed to be enjoyed in a relaxed mannor and as a supplement to your usual practice routine. The aim is to improve your coordination and finger strength, meaning repetition is key. Each finger is assigned to a fret and numbered as follows:
- Index – 1
- Middle – 2
- Ring – 3
- Pinky – 4
Tips:
- Don’t play too quick to begin with
- Concentrate on consistent time, tone and accuracy
- Focus on the feeling of moving between the fingers
- Concentrate on alternate picking
- Keep both hands relaxed at all times
Play Each Permutation across all strings
