If
you are new enough at playing that you have to think about
which string is the first and which is the 6th, start
here. This exercise will use all downward picking and
will only travel in one direction across the neck, from the
first to the sixth string so that you can concentrate on what
you need to.
Start off with whole notes, half notes or even
quarters, no faster. Use only downward stokes with your
pick trying to move slowly enough tempo to create a smooth and
even tempo. Remember: The greatest players
all started out playing slowly.
Use
all downward stokes of the pick
