Guitar Warm Up Exercise For Beginners

playing technique Apr 01, 2021

Today's guitar lesson for beginners is a guitar warm up exercise for beginners that will warm up your hands and your brain at the same time. Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another beginner guitar lesson for you about one of my favorite warm up guitar exercises for beginners. Rather than playing a really boring warm up exercise like playing up one finger per fret & back down (BORING) I like to at least use guitar scales as practice exercises to warm up with. Scales at least actually happen in real music & sound a heck of a lot better than those boring 1234 exercises a lot of guitar players use. If you spend a few minutes adding this warm up to the guitar exercises to do every day, it will help you in a lot of different ways. You'll work on your fretting hand technique, your picking technique, your scale knowledge, your fretboard knowledge, music theory, ear training, and more! This is one of the best ways to practice guitar scales for beginners & you can play it on acoustic guitar or electric guitar.
