Welcome to the first Technique weekly challenge!

In this series of videos, we are looking at many topics from: warm up ideas, technique improving concepts, strumming tips, lead guitar tips and more!

In this video we look at a warm up exercise for total beginners and later intermediate level, both coupled with a great technique/learning concept called ‘Slow, Slow, Quick!’

This one is a little taster, but all the following weeks’ videos will be exclusive to Access All Areas members, so that is yet another reason for you to sign up if you haven’t yet!

Exercise 1 - Finger Warm Up ( beginner) 

• Place the index finger on fret 5 to start, then following fingers in order on the neighbouring frets one at a time

• However, don’t just go slow! Think ‘Slow, Slow, Quick!’ 

• Do the same motions progressing down a string each time, string 6 to string 1

Exercise 2 - Wider Stretch Warm Up (intermediate)  

• Place the index finger and ring finger on fret 3 & 5 at the same time

• Then, swap fingers with the middle finger and little finger being placed on fret 4 & 6 at the same time

• When switching fingers still think ‘Slow, Slow, Quick!’ as you place down the fingers

• Once you can do that, progress from string 6 to string 1 each time you perform the movements
