Hey everyone. Back from my hiatus. I figured I’d start where I left off. Pinky strength. It’s key to progressing past the basics on the guitar. This is a great riff to learn to get some more strength. Plus it’s got a very cool Scottish sound. So if you need the chops but are sick of exercises, here ya go.
Glasgow Kiss- John Petrucci
The key to getting something out of this exercise is to use the fingering I have given. I have no idea how JP plays this but that fingering will be tough on a weak pinky. If you are unsure about what numbers are which finger, 1= index, 2= middle, 3= ring, 4=pinky.
Good to be back.
