Spider Routine (Do This DAILY!)

if you are still "young" on guitar there's no shame in feeling "challenged" by this exercise in 16th notes, but if you apply and take care about hand posture, rhytm and clean sound you'll get there, even further, in no time, it's really not a hard goal

Fucking hard. (I'll remember this comment when I finally get it!)

Yes! Muhaha

Yeah by the 16ths my wife took her heading aids out.

haha yess i can attest to that

that’s why guitar players all around the world love it

Kkkk

Simpson, you are diabolical

@@iriartef1 Hehe my teacher told me to try it this way, it's fucking hard

@@Gentamoru For this version of the spider(ish) walk I would definitely agree. For the "normal" spider-walk technique it's impossible to do it in reverse. I also am confused how this really helps even beginners, because I always learned the whole purpose of the spider-walk practice is to get your hand more accustomed to being able to I guess fly through the fret board, and do it cleanly. I thought the whole purpose of this exercise was to not move your fingers until whatever finger's specific note, so all four fingers are on their respective frets the entire time, and only move to the next string on that specific fingers "turn" on said string.

@@brandoncooke6564 this is how I see any guitar exercise. Can you do it? If the answer is yes. Great, move on with your life. If the answer is no, then do it until you can. Worst case scenario: you have only learned how to play the exercise. Best case scenario: it helps in other areas too.

After you finish do it again at with the video speed at 1.25x . This helped me alot syncing both hands

Haha!!

Imagine not remembering how to do something so simple

I do this daily and I fkn hate it. Not lifting the fingers hurt as fuck and that pinky is almost always in the way or bending strings. Either way it hurts lol but Ill keep on doing it. Maybe one day itll pay off

@@tunod- If it's hurting, it is NOT good for your hands and could leave you with inflammation wherever it is hurting and do far more harm in the long run. Do NOT believe these fools who talk about "no pain, no gain" because I grew up an athlete and when you've many different types of coaches, physical therapists, and even vocational therapists (often the most knowledgable on how NOT to do long term damage to your body), they will tell you that if something is hurting *while* you're doing it, STOP IMMEDIATELY, as you're doing possible long term, irreparable damage to that area. I feel like a moron stating this but pain is your body's way of telling you to STOP. It is meant to deter you from harming yourself so that you can no longer protect yourself (meaning you wouldn't survive long trying to escape a predator). This is so basic I can't even believe I'm typing it, but since it seems some people have never had actual coaching, training, physical therapy, and vocational therapy I'm stating it here so others won't be harmed. (and yes, sociopaths love to HURT OTHERS so don't believe everything you see posted as if it's the blind truth) Here is what IS normative. To be sore the next day. That means you exercised your muscles/tendons/joints in enough of a way that is making them rebuild stronger. You build that up over time. Think of a baby learning to walk. It doesn't happen all at once, they wiggle and wobble around and hold onto things until they build up enough muscle and many days of practice over time (and yeah, learning to roll over and crawl is part of that process...it takes almost a year to get there as those muscles develop, it doesn't happen from their parents forcing them to try again to the point of pain and tears). Do not take my word on this. Consult a vocational therapist who treats professionals who HAVE harmed themselves from overstrain (or from an accident from which they're recovering) and they will help you with how to NOT do irreparable, long term damage to yourself. Even vocalists have to do this or they blow out their vocal chords and get nodes on them and have to have surgery. If you want to end up an old person with stiff, painful hands where you can barely play at all, keep on doing what you're doing. You can just wear hoodies, sweat pants, and slip on shoes for the rest of your life when you can no longer button your shirts, jeans, and tie shoelaces. PROTECT YOUR HANDS, wrists, and all the joints and tendons in them. Heck, some pros won't even shake hands with people because some agro guys give the death grip when they shake hands and hurt their fingers.

65yo and been playing since my teens and I feel the same as you.

@@andiestwo5 yall old ash🤣

Hello, how many hours a day you put into this exercise :)

15 minutes, I only do this excercise once a day, then I practice whatever else I’m working on. It’s a great warm up. Just practice along with the video once a day. Its VERY frustrating at first, you have to be able to stick with it. It’s 15 minutes out of your day. Even if you don’t practice anything else, if this is all you do one day when you are feeling lazy, you’ll accomplish a lot. Even if you go day’s without doing it, go back, it’s a quick exercise and if you really want to improve on every aspect, and you want to be a good guitar player this routine gives you A LOT! Get a good 7 hours of sleep every night. Your mind works on improving your playing while you sleep.

@@Tiago_007 do you have any video you recommend to start shredding apart from this one?

Awesome! I’m not experience I just started in March.

Best metronome sound i've heard, apart from actual drums. Haha

Fr haha

Lol it sounds like a clock

Hello, how many hours a day you put in that exercise?

this shit so fucking hard my hands are not that big! how can I do this? i really wanna do this this but at the same time its frustrating.

​@@angeshbasnet1320Get a mandolin

hope you are still playing guitar, Paul.

Hope you are still playing guitar, Paul .

Hope you are still playing guitar, Paul.

Hope you are still playing paul, Guitar.

Hope you’re still Pauling guitar, playa.

Thanks! Becoming less 'underrated' each day. :))

The-Art-of-Guitar Without a doubt. You're ACTUALLY a practical help unlike most of the people just talking jargon baloney

thank you for the tips!! i've been struggling with the 16th notes for a while now

I've seen a lot of instructors i've taught guitar myself before the internet i.e. YT & I have to say Mike is one of THE BEST on YT he's neck & neck w/another Instructor. I know this stuff but I still watch & listen because as a teacher it helped me to teach others same w/Mike he will have a new way of seeing an old thing that causes me to be inspired to go w/that lil nugget & make a exercise or song idea from something very simple. I've spent a lot of money on VHS tapes books DVD's magz…learning guitar when I was younger & what Mike gives out for free blows most of that stuff away. It's always good to go back over the basics. I'd pay for his course he's the real deal excellent teacher he's gifted to teach.

what u exactly practice ? nice Pic btw

Good. It's good to do something that isn't ass.

When I read the title of this video, Ithought he would teach the Mustaine's spider chords, too much Megadeth on my mind xD

Haha same!

SgtRyoseirui what do you listen to fusion jazz

And so now you can play Metallica riffs ??

Intro riff? Thats a good one

True. The variation is playing 4 notes on one string then 3 on the next then 4 on the next, then 3 and so on.

@@OcelotDAD Thanks for this, can do the 16ths at 95bpm like in the video no problem, but tried doing this variation and I can barely do it at 75bpm. Something new to work on.

Was that a Pink Floyd reference?

I have 'high hopes' about getting better at guitar and playing 'a great gig in the sky' but for that I need to spend my 'time' practicing while I keep working my day job for 'money'. Dexterity lessons don't yield immediate results so I tend to bang my head on 'The Wall' and 'run like hell'. Guess I just need to loosen up and 'breathe'. And this guitar lesson is one of the lessons that 'speak to me'.

Megadeth guitarist Kiko Loureiro has a video on his channel about pressing the fingers on the strings too hard. I really recommend watching it, it helped me a lot!

Thanks for you comment, it motivates me to start to use those practices exercices again after a long time without doing so. I can do the first two, but it gets really messy at the Four stroke per note part haha.

Me too...

Julius C hahahah

Apparently you don´t know what a 9-string guitar is....?

could be worse, coming from someone who's had a nine string for a few months now lolol

this exercise would suck on jared's 18 string

I bet it sucks more on bass.

Great, we're coming out with a ton of these very soon. :) Best wishes on your healing.

How much Time Can I spend on this exercices ?

What About if I spend 4 hours?

Yes I cant get the pinky either

Hand size means nothing ,the pinkie is weak but will strengthen

@@chadbridges4304 Then how come nobody can show me a single piece of evidence very small hands can reach the upper strings like that? I've put a good amount of research into it and have only seen people with small hands shred the lower strings, as if that was "proof" to show that size doesn't matter.

@@DINGO823 you can reach the bass strings with small hands if you change your grip and practice enough

Can you identify as man at all?

I ordered a guitar last night and plan on sticking to it for a year and hopefully can play some of my favourite songs! Hows your playing coming along now?

@@skumwoy3641 did you do that?

Skumwoy it’s been a year! how have things been?

Good call.

they stretch out the more you practice luckily i remember my first time doing this exercise i couldnt keep up and my left hand felt so stiff
