EBS Lesson Nine  Developing root and fifth

Octave and root and fifth shapes for our low F

Having introduced our low F from our higher F on the D string, we should now consolidate our knowledge by applying octave and root and fifth shapes. The following exercise should give you a good workout and incorporates playing up and down both octave and root and fifth shapes.

Use the multimedia files and develop your ability, as always, by adjusting the tempo as you become more proficient. There are no clues here other than the notes on the musical stave, so let us see how your reading is coming along!

Remember you can always look at previous examples if you are unsure at all.
