Almost all of the musical instruments are played with the active use of hands and fingers. People do not use their fingers actively in their daily life except for while playing musical instruments and doing some special profession. So when they encounter situations where they have to control small muscles movements of the fingers are required, they have difficulties in this issue. Also, classical guitar is an instrument in which all fingers must be actively used. When classical guitar players need to effectively use fingers which they do not use frequently in their daily life, this issue comes up as a problem. In this study, solution and suggestions for eliminating the weakness of the left hand little finger which is one of the most common problems while playing classical guitar in terms of muscle and control are discussed. Guitar players are mostly encountered with this problem while applying the legato technique. So we discuss how legato and reverse legato should be worked by dividing them into stages in order to reach the sufficient muscle structure and appropriate control level of the little finger over the legato technique. In this study, we mention about the history and education of the guitar, hand anatomy and motor skills are also briefly mentioned in addition to suggestions for effective use of the little finger. The aim of the this study is to provide an idea to guitarist on how to overcome this problem which is not only specific to the left hand little finger but also in every finger.
