this is a Fripp influenced drill designed to help develop dexterity in all 4 fingers
consider the following tab in G major with standard 6 string guitar tuning
--------------------------7b-8d-------------------3b-5d----------------------------------
--------------------7b-8c-5a-8c-------------3b-5d----------------------------------------
--------------7b-9d-5a-9d-------------2a-4c-------2a-4c----------------------------------
--------7b-9d-5a-9c-------------2a-4c-------2a-4c----------------------------------------
-7b--9d-5a-9c-------------------------3b-5d----------------------------------------------
-5a--8c-------------------------3b-5d----------------------------------------------------
you'll notice the tab looks unusual in that it has a letter following each number
the letters are used to show which finger should be used for each note ( "a" - first , "b" - second , etc )
this is also a good exercise for string bending, right hand tapping and developing extended fret spans
there are many different alternatives for fingering order in this exercise
