Right Hand Exercises

Filed under: Feeling, Lesson Content, Practice, Technique — Alan Coady @ 10:27 pm

One of the original intentions when beginning this blog was to upload resources which might be useful to others. As time went by I became engrossed in other aspects e.g. Guitar Group Midis or Pupil Performance mp3s and, to be honest, forgot about this intention. So I’ve attached a couple of pdf variations on some right hand exercises for finger-style guitar. The intention of both is the same - to measure the distance between strings by feeling the distance between thumb and fingers. The important thing is to use feeling rather than looking. What one is feeling for is, as far as I know, called radial abduction.

N.B. the descriptions of Moving Bass Note - Stationary Top Note etc. apply within the confines of one bar.
