agility building

How can I build up stamina and agility of both hands?

What are the best exercises to achieve that?
thanks

Hi,

In my opinion I think there are three things you can do...

1. Play scales, particularly the Segovia scales...

2. Play arpeggios e.g. Giuliani 120 for the right hand...

3. Perhaps the most important one is play the studies of the classical guitar masters i.e. Sor, Aguado, Carcassi, Carulli and the like. They are time tested to develop your fine motor skills and your stamina and agility.

Note: It does take some time and effort though. Don't be discouraged, just keep moving ahead day by day and you'll be amazed at your own progress after a while.

I hope this was of help.

Kind regards,
Trevor M.
