Beginner Picking Exercise

Here is a great beginning picking exercise. Make sure to use a down /  up (alternating) picking motion. The exercise is grouped as triplets which means 3 notes per each beat. Use all 4 fingers on the left hand (which are the numbers below the picking notations) and start slowly with a metronome setting of 60 beats per minute. Take your time and get it right before moving up to higher speeds.
