A Little Bit Can Add a Lot

Adding a Fretted Note to the Forward Backward Roll

Not adding anything wild here, just one fretted note being used in the roll. Remember to play at a tempo that's comfortable for you.

When playing with a metronome, make playing cleanly a priority. Sacrifice speed to minimize mistakes, muscle tension, or control your dynamics. Work on speed after you can play a passage cleanly, but if you have excessive muscle tension at a certain speed, then that speed is too fast for now. Practice slower with less tension and remember that feeling when trying to go faster.

In the next lesson, we'll add one more fretted note into the roll.
