    Plz give me some warming up exercise before starting any song etc. Though I am learning acquistic guitar since last one year and I'am practising daily atleast for one to two hours. I can read musicnotes also. But still my fingers not moving so fast. If any friend give me some good warming up exercise so that I can move/place my figers without any hesitation. Thanks a lot to Indianguitartabs for this unique site from where I have leart a lot.

    Practice the Chromatic and the Quasi-Chromatic Scales at first. Then play Finger-Stretches.

    A Quasi-Chromatic scale is a spider that begins from some other position than the nut and doesn't exactly folow the chromatic scale. It's like this:

    E -----4--5--6--7------------
    A------4--5--6--7----------
    D------4--5--6--7---------
    G------4--5--6--7-------
    B------4--5--6--7-------
    e------4--5--6--7-----

    Here is another one.....It's called V chromatic... Keep one thing in mind, all notes should sound clearly and the timing should be even. If possible, practice with a metronome...


    E-------------------------------------------6-7-8-9--------------------
    B ----------------------------------5-6-7-8----------------------------
    G--------------------------4-5-6-7-------------------------------------
    D------------------3-4-5-6---------------------------------------------
    A---------2-3-4-5------------------------------------------------------
    E-1-2-3-4--------------------------------------------------------------

    E-7-8-9-10----------------------------------------------------------
    B----------8-9-10-11------------------------------------------------
    G--------------------9-10-11-12-------------------------------------
    D-------------------------------10-11-12-13-------------------------
    A--------------------------------------------11-12-13-14------------
    E--------------------------------------------------------12-13-14-15

    Then reverse the whole xercise.....

    play any of the above listed exercises but dont play then for too long at one stretch..meanin ..dont keep whackin at the above exercises for insane amounts of time ..and whenever u feel pain while playin any piece ,i suggest U STOP ...drop your guitar and TAKE A break..continue only after the pain seizes to exist...good luck

    Oops. Sorry I messed up the time. Play those tabs from the 6th string to the 1st and back again. Play the notes individually and not simultaneously as the tab suggests. Sorry for that.
