Скачать или смотреть Classical Guitar Slur Exercises: The 3-Level Workout

Struggling with Hammer-Ons and Pull-Offs? These 3 progressive slur exercises will take your technique from weak + inconsistent to strong, clean, and controlled. This routine comes straight from my Guitar Foundations curriculum and is designed specifically for classical guitarists who want reliable, repeatable results.

LEVELS INCLUDED:
🟢 Level 1 — Slur Exercise No.1 (Strength + Timed Mechanics)
A fundamental slur drill in 5th position, using the classic 1–2, 2–3, 3–4 hammer-on/pull-off pattern.
You’ll build finger strength, endurance, clean tone, and even timing as you shift from fret 5 to fret 12 and back.

🟡 Level 2 — Slur Exercise No.2 (Coordination + Finger Independence)
A more advanced pattern using 1–3, 2–4 hammer-ons and 4–2, 3–1 pull-offs.
This exercise trains precise coordination, invisible finger movements, and stability with finger 1 anchored.

🔴 Level 3 — Slur Exercise No.3 (Pinky Strength + Slur Power)
Focuses on the pinky using 1–2, 1–3, 1–4 hammer-ons and 4–3, 4–2, 4–1 pull-offs.
Essential for building pinky power, accuracy, and endurance.

⭐ BONUS — Slur Combo (All Levels Combined)
A full endurance routine combining Exercises 1, 2, and 3 back-to-back with no breaks.
Builds hand strength, dexterity, and complete slur control.

CHOOSE YOUR STARTING POINT
Watch the first 30 seconds of each level. Start with the exercise that challenges you just enough without overwhelming you — then master it before moving on.

PERFECT FOR:

• Viewers who saw my “Why Your Pull-Offs Sound Weak” short and want the full system

After 2 weeks of consistent practice, you'll notice stronger, cleaner slurs with better timing and endurance.
