Me: *looks at my pinky*
Pinky: don't ever think about it
My pinky is mean.
Your pinky is a thug!!!!
Hahaha nice lol
đđ
Hahaha. I hear ya.
My three fingers are working pretty well but my pinky is a goddam rebel
onizuka
Keep practicing and bring that bastard to submission.
Good lord I didn't realise my thumb was so foolishly sabotaging me.
Betrayal!!!! Dun dun dun...
that's sound effects. How's my spelling. Lol
Probably the most important lesson I've had in years. I've seen countless videos on this that never talk about thumb placement. Dude, I'm halfway there in five minutes thanks to you
Happy guitaring!
You literally have to summon your inner hulk if you wanna use that little pinky
I've been playing guitar for 13 years, and now i am practising this at a very low speed. thanks for the lesson
Moutaz Hamad Me too man, me too...
you're not alone :)
U r not alone dude
@Rohan Shrestha was practicing the intro of smoke on the water :)

Oh goodness, I'm finaly managing to play with my pinky properly. I'm studying the guitar all by myself for ~1 month and couldn't figure out how to stop pinky finger from doing weird convulsion-like movements and it was ridiculously frustrating :|
Thank you for the guide!
Howâs your progress bro? Iâm starting to learn guitar.
@@chillfamgamingtv9900 I guess we'll never know
Hello Mr De Castro. I've been playing for decades, and watching instructional videos on YT for a bit more than 1 decade. This particular instructional video is one of the most helpful I've ever seen, and you are one of the best teachers I've seen also, based on a sample size of 1 (this video). So thanks! From a grateful new subscriber living in Dunedin, New Zealand. P.S. What a tasty little intro you played there!
My hand feels so much more relaxed and I can finally use my pinky properly now, thanks man!
Happy to help!
I have been playing guitar for 40 years and found this incredibly helpful. I never realized that my thumb will sometimes slip parallel as opposed to perpendicular. In fact if you really want to see the biggest difference with the thumb position, for those of you that Iâve tried the spider technique or the spider finger exercise to improve your finger strength, try doing the exercise with your thumb in each position and you will see a tremendous difference when itâs done properly the way this dude just explained it.
The thumb placement is hugeeeeee! What a legend!
20 seconds from your explination and I already fixed my Pinky issue. preety amazing and Thanks a lot.
So important for beginners to understand the bio-mechanics of the hand to start off with good playing habits. I love the explanation of that before the exercise demonstration. Understanding that along with the exercises is a great foundation for unlocking the hand for better finger independence.
Iâm 59, been playing since preteens. Bar chords have been a problem for me. But after this lesson I can now ring every string.
This was a great lesson. No one ever showed me this
This is a huge help!!! I started noticing a difference after only like half an hour! Youâre a lifesaver dude
That was a really great, very concise video that actually addresses several issues I'm experiencing. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce and post this video. I really appreciate it.
I can't begin to tell you how helpful this little tip has been! I've been trying to teach myself to play now for about 4 months and I literally felt like my pinky was deformed. I'm not sure i ever would have figured this out on my own but this seems to make a world of a difference. I really appreciate it. Thanks so much!
Enjoy the guitar journey!
I discovered this exercise video approx. 6 months ago. My pinky is settled now. Thank you for that. :)
Do they move independently now?
I have to use all my brain power in that pinky to move it correctly
â@@dipensubedi5666 They move independently yes but more important point than that it's more stable. For example when thumb is low positioned pinky is not shaking. And therefore when you need pinky it's ready to play. You're theaching it to be cool with this exercise. But it takes time so be patient. :)
Your techniques and exercises and explanations are really compatible with me. Thank you so much!
Thanks man, great exercise! Ive hardly used my pinky in solos for my 40 something years of playing. I love exercises now, they are the only way to acquire technique. INTENSITY- do it correctly, FREQUENCY- do it daily, DURATION- in a week or two you have acquired the skill. That is how "muscle memory" works. Sorry if I'm ranting. Thanks for the vid.
This is the most informative video Iâve ever watched, thank you so much!
Hi.
Happy New Year!
Iâm just past two years learning guitar đž and this was a great way to end the year with some much needed insight on that pinky.
I accepted it but didnât understand it.
Much needed!
Thank you!!
Iâve been playing guitar on and off for 6 years but steady for 1 year and this helped me out tremendously!
This explanation flipped the switch for me. God bless you, bro!
you are a legend. been wanting to get better at using my pinky and i could literally feel my pinky getting easier to use as i did this, definitely worth the watch. (i also subscribed)
Huge improvement after just following along with this video once. Thank you!
Very good my brother. I been playing with my thumb in the wrong position for thirty years. Thank you for this video.
wish I've found your video sooner because this is really helpful! when I practiced my pinky always curls and or out of angle, now I can do the exercise more relaxed and not painful at all! Thank you so much!
I've been playing with poor hand posture for 7 years.. Time to re-learn the guitar.
This video was so friggin helpful. As someone who took viola lessons growing up I was no stranger to the concept of hand posture, but having never taken actual guitar lessons i never had a solid idea of what hand posture means for guitars. Thank you!!
I loved it! Thanks for this video!
Thanks to you master! I learned many things in this video, and it sounds better than before.
Im self taught in guitar and the thumb position advice really saved me thanks!!
Thank you vor this very clear and important explanation! It helps a lot!
Just in case i did already say it - THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO AND MAKES MORE SENSE EVERYTIME I WATCH IT!
Wow, this helped a lot! I'm currently working on "Play with me" solo by Extreme.
Only the thumb position solved all the pinky problems which made me increase the speed and progression so much faster! Thank you! đ
Glad to find this video. Thank You.
Thank you so much I was having such a hard time and your video is the only one that helped out of all the ones I saw
This helped me greatly with my pinkie locking up while playing bass. Big thank you for making this video!

Thanks for the tips sir! Very helpful.

I only watched this video, practiced the exercise for 10 minutes, and now I can play with my pinky as easily as with my middle finger.
You're amazing dude

Thank you so much! In my 4 years of playing I had no idea that my thumb position was the problem! God bless!

Thank you so much, I was struggling with the pinky for G chord for past 2 days...thank you again.
Great exercise, thanks
This actually helped a lot. One riff that helps the pinkie is crazy train
God thank you for not saying "you don't practice enough". This was a legit solution
Thanks. This is invaluable information. You are a very well-informed teacher and a great educator.

I haven't played guitar in years and recently decided to buy a new guitar and play again. Wish I had been taught this years ago
Thanks Bra for this video. I'm guilty of having problems with my pinky.
Thank you for these finger exercises. I've added it to my guitar practice routine. It really helps strengthen my pinky.
