:: LESSON #3
Finger Stretching Excercise
Many people ask about certain exercises of finger stretching. Another lesson called: "A technical exercise supporting the finger stretchinf of left hand's fingers".
In the exercise we play two notes each time, so it's best to (actually it's the only reasonable method) play one (lower) sound with the pick, and the second (higher) with the middle finger of the right hand.
Remember to place the fingers as preaxially to the subchord and just by the frets.
In first stage the first fret is tightened by the forefinger and the second with the middle one..
Step 1: First two notes. forefinger on string E (fret I), middle pushes string H (fret II).
Step 2: Second two notes - switching the fingers. Place the forefinger on string H, midlle on string E - on right frets.
Step 3: Third two notes - switching the string.
Step 4: Anothe two notes - switching the fingers.
