Ok, so I didn’t want to edit my last comment. But @Kitman and @Jnc51 , if you’re interested, here’s some direction.
I saved these and for a while I worked on them. One of my problems has been getting too spread out, so I’m really glad you reminded me of these. I’m going to start on them again.
So, the direction: start with only the first four measures of the first exercise called Mississippi Timing. Notice that it uses an alternating thumb pattern on the G major chord using 3 bass strings. But he alternates both the pattern and the timing. The first measure is 1 & 2, 3 & 4, pinching with the 6th string. The second measure is 1, 2 & 3, 4 &, pinching with the other 2 bass strings, 4 and 5. But, notice that when you go into the 3rd measure, you have 4 & 1 & 2 all together.
What I’m going to be doing is using just this as a practice pattern for the next few weeks until I can do it automatically. Only then will I try adding the hammer ons. Notice that he hammers on with alternating thumb and pinches. And that’s just the first day. Every other day is built off this first exercise. So that’s all I’m going to work on for quite a while. I’ll move on only when I can do this automatically.
