Instead of writing a long blog describing these different exercises I decided to make a couple of videos.
Hammer-On Exercises:
There are three hammer-on excercises:
1. 1-2, 1-3, 1-4

I’ve been meaning to get a few guitar tips up and I finally did it. I decided to make a couple videos because I figured it would be easier for the reader (or watcher) than if I had explained it by writing, tabs, etc.
The first video talks about the chromatic scale. I use this scale to warm the fingers up and to get my two hands to work together. I also give suggested picking patterns as well.
The second video contains three stretching exercises for the left hand. The purpose of these exercises is to loosen up the left hand as well as to teach the fingers to be independent. This is needed if you are interested in playing chords and switching from one chord to the next in a timely manner.
I hope you enjoy these videos,
