Guitar Speed Developing Scale

Play the following notes using the fingering pattern 1 2 3 4 3 2:

• Use one finger per fret, e.g . four frets = four fingers
  
  
• Always use alternate picking - back and forth - up, down, up, down, etc.
  
  
• Remeber speed really comes with the proficiency of the picking hand, not the fret hand.
