[RogueMonk]

That last exercise had me laughing and giggling like a child. My 3rd finger is like a baby trying to walk. Good stuff.

[dollyioane]

Wow! this is great! I am 57 and just learning to play the guitar, never too old to rock-in roll hahahaha...

[Spacelordgr]

My 3rd finger doesn't listen at all :D

[katherine]

“one finger per fret” bro my hand is small :(

[tamer]

I’ve being practicing for 3 months and it’s clear how I improved my speed during other exercises! Thank you very much for this video!!

[Nicklelove]

This is great! I learned to play guitar 15yrs ago, don't practice much, and my skills haven't improved (for obvz reasons). These exercises are great! I'll keep practicing them. My problem is my pinky is very short so I have to extend my hand farther to reach the 6th string with it. Wish me luck!

[big-ass-nugget]

This is awesome. Thank you. I started learning the guitar a few weeks ago and the left hand is giving me a hard time. Never thought of doing exercises like these..

[jules-sfus]

i can’t even stretch my fingers across the four frets-

[ecetheplatypus]

As a guitar teacher, these are GREAT exercises for beginners... considering that for some reason most guitar teachers try to teach the minor pentatonic scale in the first lesson.

[laylaaissaoui-hester]

Wow it's amazing how fast you get better at this. Thank you so much, this hurts good!

[converti]

Seems easy but it is so hard, im gonna do it every day to see if finally I can learn to play guitar, Thanks for the video

[danielburford]

Don't have to use right hand
Me: left handed guitar player

[southern]

[imapersonnamedgio]

I needed to work on ring and pinky, and now that I can practice on my arm, I can do it every day anywhere I am

[GodsStoryteller]

Thanks so much for this.

Ive got to add this to my understanding of muscle controllers.

And knuckle controllers.

[abraham]

Lol anyone else surprised seeing the best vocal coach on YouTube teaching guitar? And he has has hair in this video!

[bevo]

Wait. Chris? Chris LIEPE? The singing instructor? Holy crap! 🤠

[johnd]

I am contemplating playing the guitar, never even held on and have learned much from you. It's a bit overwhelming . A lot to learn. Thanks

[mvprincess]

I used to play the guitar years ago but stopped. This is actually very helpful!
