EXAMPLE 3

CD TRACK 12

Speed bursts can help to develop fluidity and security in scale playing. The eighth notes should be played at a controllable speed to support the 16th-note speed bursts. As the exercise progresses the number of notes in the speed burst

increases. Create your own speed bursts and use a metronome to gradually push your speed. As mentioned above, also practise this example using both ‘i-m’ and ‘m-a’ fingers.
