🖐🏼🎸 Stretch Your Fingers with This Fun Guitar Exercise! 🎶


Hey everyone! 😀 Dani here from FunKeys – ready to help you get those fingers moving with a super simple (and super fun) guitar exercise!

Today we're diving into a five-finger stretch exercise that’ll help you build strength and flexibility. Whether you're a total beginner or just warming up, this one's for you!

🎯 What You’ll Need:

  • Your guitar 🎸

  • A metronome 🎼

  • Fingers 1, 2, 3 and 4 (yes, all of them!) 🖐🏼

🎵 Let’s Get Into It:

🎯 Remember those frets we talked about last time?✔️ The frets are the spaces between the metal lines, not the lines themselves! (⏱ 0:22)

We’re going to work on the last three strings:

  • The 6th string

  • The 5th string

  • The 4th string (⏱ 0:39)

Place your fingers like this:

  • 1st fret – Finger 1 ☝️

  • 2nd fret – Finger 2 ✌️

  • 3rd fret – Finger 3 🤟

  • 4th fret – Finger 4 ✋

🔼 Ascend & 🔽 Descend!

Start on the 6th string and go up:1st fret → 2nd → 3rd → 4th

Then move to the 5th string and repeat.Then to the 4th string.

Now reverse it!Start on the 4th string and go backward:4th fret → 3rd → 2nd → 1st (⏱ 0:38)

⏱ Practise with Dani!

Wanna play along? I’ve got you! 😎Pick your speed and let’s do this together:

  • 🐢 SLOW – (⏱ 2:15)

  • 🚶‍♂️ QUICKER – (⏱ 2:45)

  • 🏃 SUPER QUICKLY – (⏱ 3:15)

  • 🚀 SUPER DUPER QUICKLY – (⏱ 3:30)

And remember...👉 Always use a metronome to stay in time and challenge yourself gradually! 😆

🎉 That’s It!

Practise this little routine every day and your fingers will be flying in no time. See you in the next class! 🎊
