Lesson #1-1
These first lessons are focused on strengthening your fingers.
Play the notes at a comfortable speed and at first, only use your 1st & 3rd fingers. These are represented by the numbers in the circle. You wont always see this in a transcription, this is purely for practise.
(Notice the timing of the pattern is 4/4. This is not the speed of the music but how many notes are played per bar. This will be explaned more later. For now just try and count along. 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 and so on. Notice there is 4 notes played in each section. Play each 4 notes at the same time. 1-2-3-4.)

Notice how you were playing the 3rd fret and 5th fret. If this was too difficult, try playing the 3rd fret and 4th fret instead. When your comfortable, stretch your finger out and try again.
