Description

This lesson is all about getting your right hand used to doing something other than just strumming.

The main object of these excercises is to get your right hand thumb to habitually play the bottom note of any chord.By bottom note I mean root note which could be found on any of the bottom three strings depending on the chord - e.g. the root of open D is the 4th string open - the root of open Em is the 6th string open.

The root note is always the same as the name of the chord - i.e. chord = A minor - Root note = A.

The right hand indications on the tab follow this system:-

T = Thumb

I = Index or 1st finger

M = Middle or 2nd finger

You need to practice these excercises plenty of times to build up the idea of thumb and fingers working independantly.
