Unless otherwise stated, these exercises should all be played with strict alternate picking (downstroke/upstroke) and
then repeated starting with the opposite pick attack (upstroke/downstroke) Play these exercise SLOWLY at rst to
ensure accuracy and then gradually build up your speed over time. I would recommend working on ngerings rst
and accurate picking before attempting to play them faster.
