This is by far the best finger exercise i've seen for finger independence n playin with the tip of ur finger.. e--1-2-3-4------------------------------ B-----------1-2-3-4------------------------ G-------------------1-2-3-4---------------- D----------------------------1-2-3-4-------- A-------------------------------------1-2-3-4 E----------------------------------------------1-2-3-4-- now please don jump.. this is the tricky part : After playing the first 4 notes and moving to the second string, all 3 fingers stay right where they are and only the index finger moves to fret 1 string 2.. for the next note,the other 3 fingers stay constant and only the middle finger goes to fret 2 string 2.. and so on till the last note.. i.e. at any point of time only ONE FINGER moves to play a note.. i think this a good way to achieve finger independence and learning to play with the finger tip... comments please!
