Re: Dexterity & Barre chords

Awesome ""staircase" exercise!

I just ran through it a few times, and can really see the benefit of warming up with this. It's amazing how these structural exercises (like practicing scales) really benefit a person's overall playing ability, almost without noticing it. I wish I'd learned some of these terrific habits when I started playing years ago.

Thanks, Beamer!

Re: Dexterity & Barre chords

I tried that staircase also, I can not seperate my fingers even on my electric at the 8th fret! I guess its time for the hard foam blocks to strech my fingers again!
