Here we go again for you beginners;

Let's work some more basic techniques and coordination.

Still working on natural notes. Always work each finger individually! Do not worry about speed. It will come inevitable according to time. The important thing is to do all exercises correctly. Keep your attention to every detail to develop a sharp technique with no flaws.

Obs:. The standards position that we shall use:

Standard one - half-tone & tone

Standard two - tone & half-tone Standard tree - tone & tone

Ex. 1

Based on standard position tree. Start at 12 freet with finger 2

Ex. 2

Starting with finger 2. Standard tree on A string, standard one on D string and standard one on the G string

Ex. 3

Also starting with finger 2, standard one on A string, standard two on D string and standard two on the G string

For those who are more advanced, here goes a tapping study:

Tapping is a technique in which we "attack" the notes with both hands, giving us a wide way of possibilities, harmonic and melodic.

Some tips of how to do it:

Base your thumb to the neck, so you may guide more precise.

he left-hand always goes with hammer on and pull offs. Special attention with the finger tips. Keep them tight!

So, here is a phrase with a basic cord progression ( we´ll talk about that later ):

Hope you all have a nice study! Luck and sucess!
