Day 12

If I've learned one thing from Nanowrimo,  it's that things tend to start losing speed in about the second week.

For example, now.

This is an exercize you need to go as slowly as you need to to get a good sound. Once you've played it once, do it again, focusing on good sound, and even tempo. Then worry about speed.

Now, if you're saying you didn't sign on for there to be random letters in your tab, don't panic. 

H stands for hammer-on. First finger, third fret. Pluck your string. While that string's still sounding, and without moving your first finger, put your third finger on the third fret. The note should still be sounding, but the pitch changed. You might have to fiddle with it to get it right. Try it ill it sounds right.
