String 6 chromatic reversal.

Change direction inside a four-fret cell on string 6; keep the eighth-note spacing even.

01 THE LITTLE IDEA

Here’s the lovely bit.

Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Change direction inside a four-fret cell on string 6; keep the eighth-note spacing even. Tap the indicated string/fret positions; the number keys use the currently selected chord shape. Picking direction and fretting technique are not scored. Pattern positions count from 1; 1.5 is the & of beat 1, and 1.25/1.75 are e/a. F2 (string 6, fret 1) at 1; F♯2 (string 6, fret 2) at 1.5; G2 (string 6, fret 3) at 2; G♯2 (string 6, fret 4) at 2.5; G2 (string 6, fret 3) at 3; F♯2 (string 6, fret 2) at 3.5; F2 (string 6, fret 1) at 4; G♯2 (string 6, fret 4) at 4.5. The pattern lasts 8 quarter-note beats; leave gaps silent.

Today’s little goalPlay the 8-beat pattern at 72 BPM with at least 80% recall and precision.
