Great question. I had meant to include something about this. I use different sets of right-hand alternations when playing this exercise. Try the following patterns: m-p or i-p (or you could alternate i-p, m-p etc.); m-i alternation; a-m alternation; a-i alternation. I had mentioned how this exercise is good for both hands: adding in these variations will work out alternation as you cross strings. Thanks for the question!
I learned a modified version of this based more on a mix of Steve Morse, Christopher Parkening, and Bach. Worked really well for both insid/outside string skipping like Morse, but it was ridiculously annoying to learn when dealing with classical guitar, since I would have to start over every time I made even a simple mistake. Overall, it paid off.
I have no problem going from 1st string to 6th, but the way back is very hard for me. A problem I had not notticed before with my left hand. Any suggestions, appart from leaving the guitar forever?
Hi Michael, you are absolutely correct: it is much more fit for intermediate / more experienced players. I hadn't intended this to be a beginner exercise. Peace.
Hi Aaron, yes, this was pointed out multiple times in the comments and hence all my future videos featured a new vocal mic to correct the problem. Sorry for any inconvenience here. -Dave
haha! Yes, it's not the most musical of exercises, that's true. Bartok didn't write explicitly for guitar but there are a number of transcriptions of his music (especially the Romanian Dances for guitar and violin, but also his children's music from piano and others).
Seriously great L.H. independence. Clear - instructive - one of the best
Adding this to my warmup. Thanks!
Thank you for the exercise. I cant wait to try it this evening!
Glad to have found this exercise! More important to have found your channel.
This is really good. I am going to incorporate into my warmup routine.
Could you give more details on the right hand' fingers. Sometimes you use P also. THX for this great exercise

Good teacher
it is good if you can show the music notation on the screen when the guitarist explained the lesson just like other videos you posted.
Thanks Dave, this exercise is more challenging than it first looks.
Wtf dude this shit is hard as fuck but amazing , will take me 2 years to do it slow but I will try , much love and thanks man

Please, give some details about the thumb of the left hand. Does it move along when other fingers move up to the higher strings. Thx.
Hi Truc, In general the thumb of the left hand should lightly rest in the center of the neck while fingers move up and down the fingerboard.
I only got half way through.! I need to know what is happening with the right hand..?
All good,, saw it further in.
Regards
What do I change if i want to use a pick?
classical don't usual use a pick
I can't hear a thing
This exercise is not for beginners anyway, it is for intermediate players

The vocals are very quiet and the guitar is very loud.

Guys.. better to practice the spider for a bit before attempting these. It’s easier then.
great exercise but it sounds horrible
did Bartok write anything for the guitar?
I don't want to get divorced just yet

@@ClassicalGuitarCorner i like the contemporary sound of it, sounds slightly serial
