Guitar right hand execiseses- Developing the right hand is just as important as the left hand. You probably have your own way by now of holding a guitar pick or you may play using your right hand fingers. If not I hold my guitar pick between first finger and thumb by coiling 1st finger in towards palm and resting guitar pick on 1st finger and pressing thumb down to hold guitar pick. You want to hold guitar pick firm and use ur wrist motion to sound the strings. eventually this allows u to play scales and arpeggios faster. You do not want any wasted motion. Practice picking down on low E string over and over for 1 minute, then do same with an upstroke. Then practice alternate picking on low E string for 2-5 minutes. To alternate pick down, up, down, up over and over staying as close to the string on either side of string. Rember no wasted motion. Now play all the guitar strings one at a time over and over using wrist motion to move up and down strings. always alternate down stroke then up stroke even when changing strings. Increase pracice time as u get better. U can practice all down strokes and all up strokes when playing each string consecutively but mainly practice alternating up, down, up, down strokes as a rule when playing string to string or skipping strings or on 1 string. This will allow u in time to play fast and clean. Play slow at first creating a nice clean sound. Use a metronome and slowly increase your speed. Focus on getting a good sound before increasing speed.
