this drill is inspired by the great Frank Gambale, among others

consider the following tab in G major with standard 6 string guitar tuning

the difficulty in this drill is coordinating the pick with the left hand

the pick should move in a single direction completely across all of the strings

we don't want it to sound like we're playing a chord

instead, we want each note to sound separately, so, consequently

we need to enable each note before the pick arrives

and mute that same note after the pick passes

there are many different alternatives for fingering order in this exercise

theLeft Hand Sequence Diagram in Doc's Drills will help you with this dilemna
