Basic Guitar Lessons: Fret Streching Exercise

Guitar frets stretching exercise

 When you begin playing the guitar one of the problem beginners suffer from is not beginning able to stretch their figures far enough so they can play the chords they wish to. So as a beginner playing the guitar can sometimes feel awkward and uncomfortable but once you follow this exercise you will be playing all the notes you want to without this awkward feeling, making everything difficult. So to begin with, you need to begin small then go bigger as you get better. So we are going to be playing the F major 7th chord which is nothing to be scared off it just a chord like any other but it does make you stretch. So if you don’t know how to play an F major 7th chord that’s ok I will tell you where your fingers go.

You need to place your third finger on the fourth string third fret, your second finger on the third string second fret and your first finger on the second string first fret. Also need an open string under that. So if you placing your fingers on these strings you might feel a little uncomfortable so how can we improve this so you can get use to it without such a large stretch. Well the higher the frets on your guitar the smaller the distance between the frets becomes. So keep the same f major 7 and slide it down the guitar and find a fret that feels the best and hold this position until you feel comfortable. Don’t go too far down the frets it will become too difficult because the frets become to closer and this will make it hard also. Once you have found a position that suits you hold it while playing it until you feel adjusted then move it up one by one each time so you slowly increase the stretch in your fingers, until you get the first fret where we begun the exercise. Once you have mastered the F major 7 you will be able to apply the same technique and skill to any chord and learn it without feeling overwhelmed.
