Ffinger Exercises For Guitar Beginers

Here are some good finger exercises on the guitar. I guess there's already a thread on it, but i decided to start a new one anyway. I use these exercises all the time, and they work for me.

Let's start off with a simple one
E|---1-2-3-4-------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------1-2-3-4---------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------1-2-3-4----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------1-2-3-4------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------1-2-3-4--------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------1-2-3-4---| You can go down the whole fret board uptil the 12th fret, this exercise.

Oh yeah, i forgot to mention, IT'S ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE THAT YOU USE THE LITTLE FINGER WHILE DOING THESE EXERCISES. They serve as a good finger loosening exercises as well as for developing fourth finger independence, speed and strength.
E|----4-3-2-1-------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------4-3-2-1----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------4-3-2-1------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------4-3-2-1--------------------|
A|------------------------------------------4-3-2-1-----------|
E|----------------------------------------------------4-3-2-1--| You can go down the fret board uptil the 12th fret, this exercise.

Now for something a bit different
E|----1-2-3-4---------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------4-3-2-1------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------1-2-3-4---------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------4-3-2-1-----------------------|
A|------------------------------------------1-2-3-4-------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------4-3-2-1--|

And back again
E|-------------------------------------------------------4-3-2-1|
B|---------------------------------------------1-2-3-4----------|
G|-----------------------------------4-3-2-1--------------------|
D|------------------------1-2-3-4-------------------------------|
A|--------------4-3-2-1-----------------------------------------|
E|-----1-2-3-4---------------------------------------------------|

After that

E|-----------------------------------------------------1-3-2-4|
B|-------------------------------------------1-3-2-4----------|
G|---------------------------------1-3-2-4--------------------|
D|-----------------------1-3-2-4------------------------------|
A|-------------1-3-2-4----------------------------------------|
E|----1-3-2-4--------------------------------------------------|

You can do the above exercise with a single string and go down the fret board like this.
E|---1-3-2-4--2-4-3-5--3-5-4-6 etc-------------------------|

Hope you liked these exercises. Will post some more soon. When practicing these exercises, remember some stuff. Start slow, build up speed afterwards. If you develop a cramp in your little finger, STOP, let it get some rest before starting again. Go to one exercise only after attaining perfection in the former.
