Re: spider exercise
hello routhless and welcome to Chordie,its not a dumb question spider exercises help strengthen and improve coordination of your fretting hand one easy exercise is to place your 1st finger on the E string 5th fret and the next on the 6th middle on the 7th and pinky on the 8th then transfer your 1st finger to the 5th string 5th fret while holding down your other fingers then move each finger over to the 5th string one at a time till all your fingers are on the 5th string then repeat this to the 4th,3rd,2nd and 1st then go backwards one at a time remember to keep your fingers down till its time to move it each finger has a fret its going to feel a little wierd but with practice it will get smooth,regarding learning music theory Chordie offers a course (Jamplay) the link is at the top of all the pages
