Slide Rule
An Exercise in Scruggs Style Subtlety
The goal of this is to have your slide land on the third fret at the same time you pick the B string. This is definitely a "pat your head while you rub your tummy" type of exercise and is a key component of Scruggs style banjo playing. Go as slow as you need with tempo slider. You can also just pause and go at your own pace.
