Get Your Fingers In Shape With This Lesson

Get your fingers in shape by taking one of these free guitar lessons for beginners. Learn how to play the guitar at Pick-up-Your-Guitar.com!

These guitar exercises are designed to use all your fingers to develop a balanced strategy to get you playing better!

Play these everyday at least 20 times each.

It won't take as long as you think.

Also, use a metronome when you feel comfortable and every note is clean.

These exercises are written on the 1st string, however you'll want to practice these on all six strings.

For demonstration purposes I'm playing these exercises in 7th position.

Play these exercises in all positions and on all strings.

These six exercises aren't going to hit the top 40 charts anytime soon, therefore it's important to mix these up and be as creative as you can.

You can also try creating your own exercises from these and mix them in to get something totally different!

These exercises will work wonders for your guitar speed. Be sure to use all of your fingers, and always use alternate (up/down) picking.

If you're really looking to increase you guitar speed, check out Elmore Music's Speed Guitar program. Elmore has created some of my favorite 'How to Play Electric Guitar' courses. It'll cost you about what a regular one hour guitar lesson costs, ($27) but you'll get tons of great guitar speed lessons.

Learn how play electric guitar and carve up your fretboard with razor sharp precision, lightning speed & complete control with the help of Speed Guitar Techniques.
