This lesson is designed to get your hands working a little better before we start working on our "Alternate Picking Etude".  An "Etude" is a technical study....here is part of a definition that I stole from Britannica Online Encyclopedia

in music, originally a study or technical exercise, later a complete and musically intelligible composition exploring a particular technical problem in an esthetically satisfying manner.


This is a little snippet of an E minor scale that we are using to sharpen our alternate picking across two or three stings.  As I say in the video please be sure to strictly alternate, no matter what note or string you are on!
