Warm-Up
Pattern #1
Attempt to practice this single-string pattern one to three times as a "warm-up" in order to teach your fingers to work independently.
These warm-up exercises are like a baseball player warming up in the "on-deck" circle. You are warming up all four fingers.
Pattern #2
This is a more advanced pattern that incorporates a rhythm pattern based on the Rolling Stones hit song, "Satisfaction."
Try practicing this pattern on each string. Remember to go slowly. Accuracy with your fingers on the correct frets is way more important than speed.
