      Your views on practicing are completely flawed you should practice slowly and deliberately and slowly amp up the metronome not practice faster than you can play it and mess up a thousand times.

    Guitarists... he meant that your hands should be sore from fatigue, not that you should be playing anything that is painful to play. There are a ton of tiny muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones in your hands that you can injure if you play without warming up or if you are trying to play something painful to play. Be smart about taking good care of your hands!!!
    I strained a ligament in my fret hand about 20 years ago and it took a couple of months of physical therapy before I was finally able to perform again, all because I wasn't warmed up and I was trying to play a song that I had been writing with a wide stretch and I felt pain in my wrist, but I kept playing... that was a difficult lesson to learn. Please don't make that same mistake.
    Thoroughly warm-up every time you play, stretch, and massage your forearm, wrist, hand, fingers, and thumb. Play your warm-ups slowly and gradually build up speed, and then you can do the more difficult stretches, but if something is painful, don't do it!!!
    Keep practicing...
    I wish you the very best.

      yeah this dude sucks if u look at his videos they're all just trashcan click bait minimal effort videos... he's not even doing the exercise correctly. this is for finger independence and you're not supposed to put pressure on the G string while doing it, only rest your fingers lightly on it which is much harder and makes very clear which fingers need the most work. the way he's doing you're better off learning some scales and use them to warm up instead...

    Ok, do not do it this fast. here's how to actually do it.
    - practice slowly
    - stay on your tips of your fingers (not just the one you're alternating)
    - try not to move your wrist, you wanna focus on the finger only
    - the point is to be accurate, have good tone, and stay relaxed
    it's a good excercise, but do it right🤠

    Very late to this, but as an almost complete beginner, I highly recommend this exercise. My ring finger in my left hand had so little control before doing this. The first time I did this on the ring finger, it legitimately hurt. The tendon would burn as I did it. Cut to around a week later, it’s become rather simple and my control over my ring finger in fretting chords has improved a lot.

    I recommend to my students that they avoid painful exercises that aren't musical ideas they wish to play. I think inert information is harmful on its own but inert fine motor skills is just gonna make playing the instrument harder. I realized it myself by my own practice regimes making me play worse, causing hand pain, and not improving my dexterity.
    My #1 tip for practicing guitar is to practice music you enjoy playing. If you really like a section you could loop it in order to fine tune it. Do not do "spider" exercises or any kind of weird stretching though. Just don't.

    I’ve been doing this for about two months after seeing this,
    It has absolutely improved my speed. Along with some other exercises and applying it of course.

    Third finger is the hardest one but I was surprised in noticing I could do this excercise easily after 19 years of playing 😅

    And this is how I learn just how bad I am at guitar - when exercises like this make me feel like I am functionally incompetent.

    This is a popular classical guitar workout for finger independence. If you want to get better at electric guitar, start doing classical fretting workouts.
