I get asked all the time what my number 1 technical exercise is for guitar. Now I'm showing you!
What I show you in this video is called a 'Spider Exercise'. There are countless variations, but here I show you one for beginners, another for improvers and a harder option for intermediate players.
You find more exercises like this in my Beginner Guitar Course and Improver Guitar Course!
