Single-string scale exercises: Part 3
- Welcome to part three of the single-string scale exercises. And this time, we're gonna-- We started with the pinky the last time, this time we're gonna do the middle at the fifth fret. Except starting with the index with the extension as we did earlier. And we're gonna do the same thing, where you go up one note at a time and back again. And then two, actually three notes, but going up those added two. So, here we go. It's the first one. Second. Third. Fourth. There they all are, right there. Okay, let's put it all together. And I think it's very satisfying to start slowly with the metronome, and gradually build up speed. Move it up one click, that last little etude there. I think it's really fun. Just start at one speed, add one click, play it at that speed, one more click. Just very gradually build it up. See how fast you can get it without having it fall apart. Just to build more facility and more speed with your single-sting play. Okay, on to part four.
