Finger Twisters


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

I'm a teacher looking for some "finger twisters" for some of my beginning students (I teach mostly kids). I like to use related combinations of chords in order to get my students to practice the chord forms (and hopefully in a way that sounds kind of cool). Just as long as the chords themselves are pretty easy, I'll use just about anything!

 

Here are a couple of the ones I've been using:

 

E - Em - E - E7

 

D7 - D - D2 - D - D4 - D - D2 - D

 

Dose anyone else out there have anything like this that they've been using?

 

Thanks,

 

SL

these are great excercises even for non beginners... those are the ones I do to warm up my hands for chords and things and they help your chord forms...

the A forms are good too

Amaj, Amin, Asus2, Am, A, Asus4

thats a good one because it has fingering shift in it (if you do the chords the classical way).

and then just do any chord. say

Em, and then use fingers to walk through notes in the Em scale over the other fingers that can stay in place...

I find that these excercises help you play ALOT of songs with relative ease.
