This week I have another technique exercise for the left hand. This time we’re looking at high speed – wide stretch lines so take things slowly!
One Tough Fretting Hand Exercise
First of all let’s work through the basic line in C Major:
Work Through The Cycle Of Fourths
Once you have the exercise under your fingers you can work through the cycle of fourths:
C F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb B E A D G
Start out slow and focus on your technique:
- Keep the fingers curled as possible
- Strive for full note duration
- Keep the 2nd finger parallel to the frets
- Keep the thumb in the back of the neck
Enjoy!
Thank you Mark,
