Chapter 1.1-Part 1- Plucking exercise with left hand fingering

Plucking exercise with left hand fingering-The previous chapter, I've shared with you about the right hand picking. As for this chapter, i will show you some exercises that will help you develop your left hand fingering.

For those who finished the exercises from the previous chapter may proceed to this exercise.
Many guitar player having problem with their left hand strength  when holding a chord, I've been through the same too, but there's always a solution to this matter. 
Know what i did?I just grasp a tennis ball with my left hand and kindda squeeze it slowly.
I do this often, when I'm watching the TV, having snack,sleeping, breakfast, lunch, dinner,supper, etc....not this often...haha.....just do it when ever you want...

I will show this exercise in a chord diagram, so before we go through the exercise, i will teach you on  how to read the chord diagram.
So here it go:


 From the above chord diagram, it clearly shows that there are six(6) vertical lines which represent the number of strings.
The 6th string is the low E and the 1st string is the high E.
The chord diagram shows how to hold a chord, for the above chord diagram, it shows D major chord position, the fingering is shown by the dot labeled with numbers.


The horizontal lines represent the frets number.

This may looks simple, but it is important for a guitar player to know how to read the chord diagram.
For the next lesson i will continue on the plucking exercises.
