Free Stroke Exercise

Once you have counted the beats of each melody line as in the above example, you can simplify it to the following version.

Remember: notes that are written in a vertical line are supposed to be played at the same time.



Free Stroke Exercise

No left hand, all open strings. Put your thumb (p) of the right hand on the 5th string. 
Your middle finger (i) on the G string, middle finger (m) on the E string. 
Now pluck each string lightly,without resting your fingers on the next string. 
The wrist and the fingers will be curved, and not as straight as in the rest stroke.



Order in which 
to pluck strings:
