WARMING UP TO THE NEW SHAPE
This should be familiar. Just a bit different shape.
-Use Two Down Strokes for the first two notes.
-Hammer on and pull off with the pinky for the next two.
-Let's march this up the neck.
IT'S COMPLICATED
Last lesson we worked on TRIADS and TRIPEGGIOS a bit. This time, we are going to play some patterns that are a bit more complex. Let's dig in.
-Notice there are TWO SETS OF ECONOMIC PICKING STROKES
-Two down strokes, then later, two up strokes. (Try to keep this strict, it will help you loop this pattern)
-Let's march this up the neck.
IT'S MORE COMPLICATED
Let's turn up the wick. Try to use two down strokes to start, but after that follow your own instincts and see if the outcome feels comfortable. Hopefully by now, your developing a "Sense of Picking".
-Let's march this up the neck.
IT'S REALLY COMPLICATED
Let's make it a bit more interesting.
-Let's move it down the neck.
COMPLEXITY IS FUN
It will start sounding a bit like an etude now. Here we go.
-And march it around.
NOW IT SEEMS SIMPLE!
By now our hardest bit will seem easy!
And let's play each bit twice, which will make it easier to loop.
