Watch these guitar finger-independence exercises taken from Scott Tennant’s book called Pumping Nylon. Scott is a World-Class Classical Guitar Performer and these exercises will challenge and benefit players of any genre.
The guitar-finger independence exercises shown in the video are played at the 5th fret on guitar with fingers initially anchored on the 3rd string at the 5th position. By moving one or two fingers in turn while keeping other fingers held down, this exercise offers a good challenge to players of ANY level.
In fact, these are part of Scott Tennant’s warm up routine! Try for yourself.
