How to train up your stamina of your fingers?

[cold_static544]

sometimes its a mental thing.

play and focus too long on learning a song, shag already
.

in an instructional vid, adrian smith said do finger practices til ur fingers r numbed by fatigue. then u'll know u've pushed urself more than yesterday.

 

[gutturalpiss]

strange..my left hand never tires. It's only right, especially for fast downstrokes. Unless ur left-handed..

 

[weijin]

icic. add me la! then send thru msn.. :lol:

funny! i'm a born right hand. right hand wont get tired. but left hand cannot make it!

especially my thumb part. the muscle area. very tired.
then slowly will be the slow fingers liao

crack peanuts,with your two pinkies

then try cracking it with one finger! if you're a lefty crack with the right fingers,righty crack with left fingers

 

[weijin]

crack peanuts = strength?

i thought it like that..

crack peanuts = techniques?

strength < techniques.

IMO

i'm i correct?

 

[bigbaddaboom]

maybe u wan to try this song from RHCP- "snow" -from their album "Stadium arcadium"........i really think it could build up stamina......and technique as well...........been practicin this for quite a while now, n i really think it works.........

2 finger one hand push,2 thumb push up.....bruce lee feats...even he is not a guitar player but he got strong finger

 

[dhalif]

i do legato runs for a few minutes continously till my fingers feel really tired.. do this frequently.. prolly few weeks time when u play.. u feel this new profound strength in your hands and fingers.. cheers mate.

 

[Mr_Bear]

any weblinks to video clips that demo the legato runs...slowly then fast?

 

[Mr_Bear]

I have rather short fingers, especially my pinkie.
I can do only max of 5 fret stretch, even then with much difficulty.
Is there any advice on the type of playing I should avoid ?

 

[nosepicker]

Go find a piece of sponge and dig 5 holes, every day poke in and out many many times. finger sure alot of stamina one

 

[weijin]

how? poke and out?

i'm a bit confused here.

 

[nosepicker]

cannot find sponge, alternative holes oso can la. poke ur own ones lor

 

[weijin]

i still dont get it? why poke holes?

i am now try to play flight of bumblebee and it really does help with the stamina of the fingers!

but now got another problem...

how do i avoid getting muddy sounds?
maybe i suck or what so ever. but i hear my playing of the song. its like.. eww. very er xin!

 

[empihsrow]

Muddy sounds? What do you mean muddy sounds? If you have poor sound...

Blame it on your:-

1) Your equipment tone[Which means your pedal and your amp]. Maybe they are really that bad that everything just sounds... Bad.

2) Your spoilt pick-up. They are apparently picking up more than what they should. Or less.

3) Your lousy right-arm techniques. Did you remember to keep the base of your palm at the bridge of your guitar? If you didn't, feedback will be imminent.

4) To a lesser extend, your pick. Sometimes when you pick your guitar, you might realize you're actually picking a bass guitar instead with all those additional sounds.

want to solve right arm problems?
