Getting The Right Hand Moving

 

In this first lesson we'll focus on getting the right hand mechanics down, while we mute the strings with our left hand.

Let's try this out with the metronome. First I'll do it 4 times, where I leave a bar of space between the repetitions and then I'll loop it for 4 bars. As always you wanna remember that you can try this on your own with the metronome at any tempo that suits you. Here it goes!

If you're like me and found this very difficult, I found it helpful to say out loud: Down Down Up BLANK Up Down Up. Counting numerically for me was catching me out but this trick helped for some reason

How can I download the sheet? Is it possible?

Scroll down and press the "print notation" button. On the page that loads up look for the downward pointing arrow next to the printer icon in the upper right hand corner. Press the arrow and it will download the pdf file. I just tried that and it worked.
