Exercise 1 – String Climbing

NOTE: You only need to practice this for about 10-15 minutes to familiarise yourself with how we move to adjacent notes.

Climb any string, saying it out loud and then check you’re right using the diagram below.

Again, this exercise isn’t to memorise the note locations, its more to breed familiarity with moving between notes and getting used to when the next whole note is 2 frets away or one fret. Getting used to the idea that there is no half step between B and C or E and F.
