So far, all exercises used scale-like patterns. We went up or down, one note at a time. This chapter will address the issues with placing multiple fingers at a time, both on one string and across different strings.
Music isn’t linear, nor predictable, and a good understanding of intervals, and the ability to place them quickly with a beautiful sound and intonation, will help you learn more pieces faster and better.
This chapter starts small, but as we progress the jumps become bigger. A few little pieces have inserted between the exercises so you can experience them in a more musical setting.
Good luck!
