1. Watch each of the videos to get an overview of the exercises. The first exercise is up/down. The second is BEADGCF with a beat. The third is FCGDAEB with a beat.
2. Start with the open G string, then “play and say” the natural notes (going “up” the fretboard – towards your body) until you reach the “G note” on the 12th fret.
3. Start on the “G note” on the 12th fret, then “play and say” the natural notes (going “down” the fretboard – away from your body) until you reach the “open G Note”
4. Repeat this exercise until you can play and say all the natural notes going “up” and back “down” the fretboard reasonably comfortably. (Hint: you don’t have to do it all in one day!)

5. Practice playing and saying the notes with the BEADGCF exercise with the track below.

6. Practice playing and saying the notes with the FCGDAEB exercise with the track below.
