Skipping Thirds: Week Four |
In the final week, Ethan shows you how to move the skipping-thirds exercises you’ve learned up into a closed position in the key of A. This is not only a great exercise for your pinky, it’s a good start at learning to play in closed positions up the neck. In the video, Ethan just goes through the first exercise (forward thirds), but he’s included the retrograde, forward-retrograde, and retrograde-forward patterns in the music PDF that accompanies this lesson.
