Question

Im having a hard time with left hand technique on guitar help?

Answer 1

I am left-handed, but I am not sure what you are asking. Can you elaborate a little?

Answer 2

For the left hand you need to start doing exercises for at least 15 minutes everyday or more. This will increase strength and coordination. Depending on how serious you are. This will not only make your left hand faster but will also give you more control(quality of play) for bending strings and such. Put your pick down and do the following exercises until burnout in the way you would do if you were working out:

e-------------------------------------...

b-------------------------------------...

g-------------------------------------...

d-------------------------------------...

a----2h4p2h5p2h4p2h5

E-------------------------------------...

Try different patterns and really try to work all 4 fingers on your left hand to burnout. This works best on an acoustic because the string gauge is thicker and it really gives you a good workout. Be sure not to take it to the point of injury though.

*If you do this everyday for about 2-3 weeks i guarantee you will see a BIG improvement. Its a secret pros use.
