PLAYING TIPS

The first eight bars have a simple broken chord pattern with easy pickinghand fingering. Be sure to project the bass line here. At bar 9 we switch to a melodic line over an E bass. This will be played free stroke, but I emphasise the first note of the bar with a single rest stroke. The picking-hand fingering (bars 9-12) is designed to allow for easy string crossing. It’s beneficial to consider the picking-hand fingering for fluency and security and not leave it to chance.
