→Finger-Stretching
It can also be done using ring and index, middle and index, pinky and middle, and ring and middle, but you'll have to use a smaller stretch to be able to do it.
== Friedman Fingering Torture ==
I got this one from Marty Friedman - to get incredible finger dexterity, you play sets of 4 notes - 1 for each finger, in every possible combination. Then you repeat it adding a stretch between the index and middle finger. If you want to really torture yourself, then stretch the 2nd and 3rd fingers, and then 3rd and 4th.
You can do this exercise by playing each pattern once on all the strings before moving onto the next, or you can run through the entire set on each string before moving to the next.
