Default Left Hand Finger Exercise From Toby Walker

Hi Gang,

I use this exercise often as a warm up. This will help you to maximize your ability to adjust the angle of your wrist behind the fingerboard for various wide finger stretches.

Nice exercise, I will try it. I have quite small hands and fretting hand reach is something I try to improve on, pieces like Granada by Albeniz really kill me with the wide stretches.

Thanks!

Small hands here as well. Glad you enjoyed that exercise. Keep at it and you can only improve.

I've been doing this exercise everyday as part of my warm-up for the last couple of months. Good stuff! Thank you for it.
