July 2023 Guitar Newsletter: How To Develop Left Hand Strength

Left hand strength and dexterity is developed through warm up exercises in the form of repetition of finger combinations. Warm up exercises are a must for beginners, and on days you are not inspired to play, they can help to get you into a flow.  Start slow, pay attention to accuracy and put all your focus into these exercises.  At the same time, don’t be too critical on yourself.  Playing the guitar well takes time, and there is no end to improvement.
