#278 - Finger Strength Legato Workout
Added 2023-06-16 14:30:01 +0000 UTCMy friends, you voted for a legato workout with a special focus on building/maintaining finger strength! So I came up with this cool and practical workout based on the B minor scale :)
Here are your practice filesfor this week (tabs, guitar pro, backing tracks, play-along video): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OCoHZjrKfDNDxVa52BekHktNGzjeH8E5?usp=sharing
In case you didn't work much on legato yet, I recommend going through the 30-day coursebefore that: https://www.patreon.com/posts/184-ultimate-30-54171102
And as always, here's a Dropbox link for you in case Google Drive doesn't work: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ikyn9rxvbmuq6za01l07o/h?dl=0&rlkey=apulbnfd2xjnje62wnva09eha

I like these exercises, , but I tend to just zone out and my adhd messes it all up and I get bored trying to learn complex patterns , so then I move on, shame that they are not broken down in to less daunting reels of tab , guess that's a me problem, so not a moan just find it tough to focus on them, guess that the benefit of real one to one lessons, vs a video of someone playing and not being there to guide you

Now I I can comfortably and with waaaaaaaay less tension perform sweeps at 140bpm ( still working on it ). __ However, I wanted to piggy back off this topic to see if anyone knows if there is a lesson on the bending arp sequence aka the mighty "boomer bends" ( quoting Sire Henson here lol ) Specifically this general pattern: E---------------10-------- B------------10-----13p10 G---12b.u.+1-------------- D------------------‐------- A------------------‐------- E------------------‐------- **B.U. +1 = bend up 1 whole step & p = pull off** I'm trying to develop a healthy technique and strengthen my hands as well. Thanks in advance! Stay Creative Everyone
