Hey everyone, very basic beginner, I the early lessons you are shown the spider technique which is fine, unfortunately for me I am not even at that level, main problem is my ring finger strength and its move movement.

It is very difficult to move independently to the second finger up of down different strings but worse is the side to side, it wants to stay clamped to the nr 2 finger.

So, the first exercise working on three frets is not work, the only way I can do it the thumb want to point down toward the head.

Can anyone suggest other exercises on or off the guitar. Look forward to any advise

Steve
