Want
your stubborn fingers to obey your command why not try the 1234
independence exercise? An elegant solution: simple yet powerful!
1) Place your fingers (fingers 1, 2, 3 and 4 ) on their respective frets, i.e. fret 1,2,3 and 4 on the guitar/bass fretboard.
2) Each finger should be comfortably placed on the fretboard (finger 1 - fret 1, finger 2 - fret 2 and so on).
3) Play each note in turn and in time: 1,2,3,4. The notes must sound clear.
4)
Once the fingers are on the fretboard keep them there. Do not move
them, that's the whole point of the exercise. Exaggerate your movements
keeping the notes crispy and clear. Build speed as required.
I hope that makes sense if not just get in touch. It will be nice to meet you.
