Let’s focus on alternating our bass line on the lowest strings. Use the metronome and play a quarter note one note on each beat. Count aloud as you play 1-2-3-4.

   p p p p   p p p p   p p p p   p p p p

   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4
Try different combinations.

   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4
Now try the same exercises on the A and D strings. Focus on rhythm and picking the notes cleanly.

Try the other combinations as well.

Now we need to work on string skipping with your thumb.

Now we will mix in the A string as well.
