More variations on the same themes e6xplored in the previous two examples. Here, the first half of the bar employs 1-2-3 units, whereas the second half of the bar employs 3-2-1 units.

now we’re using the 1-2-3 units (on bea1t5s 1 and 3-2-12u0n1it7s (onG beats 2 and 4) to move laterally up the guitar in a sort of ‘castle wall’ motion using fretting-hand legato in conjunctio­n with slid
