This is the first of a two part lesson. The reason that I am splitting it up is that this can be pretty hard on your hand if you work it too much and I think that its better to build the hand strength needed in this exercise more gradually.
We are not using our right hand for anything in this piece of music. The entire etude depends on your left hand strength to sound the notes. We start with a first finger hammer-on to get things going and keep the string sounding with a combination of hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides. The exercise is in the key of G Major and it is also a good way to get used to playing a scale on only one string.
Please excuse the phone ringing in the middle of the video...today has been crazy and I didn't have time to re-cut anything!
