Day 5

Tabs for today are easy:

|--0---------0---------
|----0------0---0------
|------0---0------0----
|--------0----------0--

And so on*.

So here we get tricky.

If you're pick picking, do this all on down picks.
Then all on up picks.
Then alternating up and down.
Then alternating down and up.

If your'e fingerpicking bass, first do all index fingers
Then all middle fingers
Then index and middle, alternating
Then middle and index, alternating

If you're on ukulele or fingerpicking guitar, pick this with your thumb and index finger:
All thumb
All index finger
Thumb and index finger
Index finger and thumb
REPEAT but replace your index finger with your middle finger.
then REPEAT using your index and middle fingers.

Some of this will feel unnatural. That's okay. That means you're getting your fingers to do different things than they're used to, and giving you more flexibility as a player.If your hands have no idea where to go, now's a good time to find out. Just go slowly , until you've got it.

If you start getting frustrated, just strum. Down to quarter notes, up to quarter notes, down and up to quarter notes. Your gut might be telling you to do eighth notes, because that's what you're used to. Resist the temptation.

Keep playing.
