Hey! Welcome to guitarlessons.com I’m Nate Savage and in this lessons, we’re going to learn a basic right hand exercise to get your right hand acclimated and warmed up for your finger picking. It’s going to be real simple and it’s going to something you can use everyday or when you have to warm-up for a gig or something like that.
So we’re going to make an E-chord with our left hand and on our right hand, we’re going to prepare our third finger, second finger and first finger on the E, B, and G strings. And then we’re going to prepare our thumb on the low E-string. Hit your low E-string with your thumb and then all at once, pull all the other three notes you have prepared, index finger, little finger and ring finger up, up here at once. So here, that’s low, pretty easy.
And now here comes the fun part. You’re going to switch to you’re a string after your E on your thumb then after that, you’re going to switch to D and back down. So just go up E, A, D with your thumb and between every one of those, just pull up with all your strings with your first, middle, and third finger.

Okay that’s a great warm-up exercise and this is great to get your accuracy kind of honed in with your right hand. One thing you want to remember though on your right hand is your index finger, little finger and third finger, you want to make sure you’re getting a good motion with your fingers. You can see my fingers, I’m not moving this part of my hand at. All or my wrist, I’m just moving this first joint right here a little bit of second one. You should have a really good efficiency of motion on that and your hand shouldn’t be moving much at all. It may seem simple but this exercise is going to help you out a lot when you’re getting to more involved finger picking exercises.
