for the first exercise you can move it around the neck and up and dwown the strings. the numbers are your fingers not the frets. if you want the rest of the exercises take a peice of paper and write the 1-4 in as many different combos as you can( there are 20 unique groups i think). the second part of exercise 1 is an exaple of string skipping you can write your own as you get more and more comfortable. as you get yo be a better guitar player you should move this up the neck past the 10th fret to improve you comfort level up there. as your doing this if you can keep your fingers on the last note played, in the first one (1 2 3 4) you should have all 4 of your fingers on the fret board when you play your pinky. you should get a metronome set it to 60 bpm and 4 beats you play along with it. speeding up the metronnome as you get better with them.

this second exercise is a little different. keep 3 of your finger on the 3rd string and dont lift them. i used my 3rd finger for the example because thats the one i have the most problem with, you can and should do this with all of your fingers. again these are finger numbers not fret numbers. the neck gets wider as you move away from the nut a good place to start is the 5th fret. you can move this to the 4th string but no lower or higher than the 3rd or 4th string. you should get a metronome set it to 60 bpm and 6 beats and try to play along, as you get better speed up the metronome.
as with any exercise this will take a long while until you see the results you want. dont try to do these all day long as that would be incredible boring and possbile painful. the best way to use these is as part of your warm up before practice and your cool down after parctice. DONT spend more than 10 minutes a day on these. Dont attempt the second exercise with cold hands (not played in a few hours hands), you should see a big difference in your flexability from begining of practice to the end.
if you have any questions just ask ill try to answer them.
They say the END is near, but I'm Tired of waiting.
