In this exercise, we’re going to test your overall ability to play a simple P and I run using various note values. In Exercise 4, we’re going to really add to this passage, so be sure you understand this exercise before moving forward.
COMPLETELY forget about every finger except for the thumb and index finger on this exercise. We’re going to work solely with those on this exercise.
The Rundown:
This is a very simple lead-based fingerstyle lick using only the G, B, and High E….AND using only your thumb and 1st finger.(Weird huh?)
