Simple Finger Exercises
The truth is, I haven’t been playing as much as I used to. I just simply pick up my guitar and play. A lot of songs or pieces that I used to play a lot, most of them I had to relearn again. It’s a lot different when you have plenty of time back then, I was single, don’t know what to do, so my main thing is to play the guitar. I remember times when I just stayed in my room and played for hours. Even though I don’t have that kind of time anymore, I still manage to do some simple finger exercises even without a guitar. I still want to learn a lot of stuff, think of new pieces I want to learn and try more new things. Learning is endless, and I certainly learn something new everyday. I just stumbled upon my exercises, it’s kind of like playing air guitar. The first one is if you know how to do the “itsy bitsy” spider thingy, that’s one, but instead of just the pointy finger, middle finger and thumb, try to involve all your fingers. It develops finger dexterity, and if you can do it without looking, much better. The second one is just simply tap your fingers, let’s say you’re on your desk and tap with the pinky first, then the ring finger, middle finger, point, then just simply repeat in that order or you can make your own. I do it all the time when I’m driving specially when the traffic light is at stop. Those simple exercises helps developed strengths for your fingers, it might not work for everybody but it works for me. Have fun and God Bless.
