Ok...you know how your fingers are numbered 1 2 3 4 when playing bass? Well, this exercise
is really easy, there's nothing to it. You'll feel it in your forearms if you do it for
a while though. Ok, go to the E string and start at the top fret. All you are doing is playing
a scale down the E string, but you use a specific finger for each free. For the first fret
you use 1, second 2, third 3 and fourth 4. Now do this down and up the E string and other strings.
G 12344321
D 1234 4321
A 1234 4321
E 1234 4321
It may not seem like much but it really helps.
Another thing you can do to make your finger next to your pinky stronger is use only the
last three fingers of your hand while fretting. It would go like this, remember to start
on the first fret of the E string, although you can do it anywhere on the fretboard if you
wish:
G: 234432
D: 234 432
A: 234 432
B: 234 432
Remember that the numbers on that scale do not represent fret numbers, they are numbers
for your fingers.
1= Pointer Finger
2= Index Finger
3= Ring finger
4= Pinky
Hope this helps :)
