Three Finger Crawl Notes
INTRODUCTION:
These three-finger crawl exercises are designed to improve fretted finger coordination, fret placement and finger placement for each finger on the fretted hand individually, while slowly introducing various common techniques used on guitar. Any number next to a note on the staff refers to finger number, not fret number. For the purpose of these exercises, the first finger (index finger) plays any note on the first fret. The second finger (middle finger) plays any note on the second fret. The third finger (ring finger) plays any note on the third fret. The fourth finger (little finger) plays any note on the fourth fret.
BAR PARAMETERS:
THINGS TO AIM FOR:
When possible, the student should aim to play the notes with equal tonal balance, sustain and rhythm. Special consideration should be given to fret and finger placement, and plucking, fretting synchronization. Exercises should be practised slowly or at a comfortable tempo, so the student can listen for correct and accurate execution, where tempo should be adjusted slowly.
