Guitar speed skill?

Question

what are some good finger exercises that can improve my finger speed while playing my guitar.

Answer 1

Here are some good exercise and the secret is to alternate-pick every note.

That is the only way you can increase and shred on the guitar.

Here are a few exercise to do on all the strings and at the same time, will build strength in your fingers.

Practice this on the 5-6-7-8th fret with finger 1-2-3-4

Play 1st note on 5th fret, and leave your finger on the fret. Now add the 2nd finger, and leave that one as well on the fret, and do the 3rd and 4th.

The reason for this is to get used to keeping your fingers close ot the fingerboard at all time.

Now, when you reach the small string, go back ward, the same way and leave fingers on the frets.

Now, start over and repeat all the way to the small string. This time do 4-3-2-1 on each string.

Now do this run, 1-3-4 on frets 5-7-8. Watch the fingering.

Go up and come down this way, 4-3-1 on fret 8-7-5.
