String Crossing Exercises Guitar Tablature: One Song, Many Styles

Recomended level: Beginner

Tags: #exercise, #essentials

These string crossing exercises will help you develop your picking dexterity. Practice them at comfortable relaxed speeds and move up tempo in small increments. Aim for even volume, timing, and tone.


If playing in time with the Tunefox player is hard, even at slow speeds. That's ok. Just pause, take a breathe, and play at your own speed without the player. Practicing playing the notes correctly is more important than going fast.
