Now, let's take a look at some chromatic exercises that will get us to change position. In the last couple of ones, we have been doing where we stay in the same position, we basically keep our thumb in the same position, our fingers are assigned to the same frets while we continue it. The guitar playing isn't always like that; you don't always stay in the same position. So, let's practice moving out of positions. We will do a very basic, very simple.
So, let's pick the first four notes here on starting with the seventh fret on the sixth string in that chromatic order and then we are going to bring up, we are going to go up a fret. So, our first finger is now here at the eighth fret and we just go up in that chromatic order. Again, go up a fret, go down a string; go up a fret, down a string. Go up a fret, down the string, now where at the 11th fret and then here at the 12th fret. So, let's try that.
Try that again and again, this is the first time you tried it; you want to do it slowly so that you can keep your right hand picking at a constant rate and there is no gaps between the notes. So, let's hear it slowly and then descending.
It's a little tricky because you got to bring your pinky over here. Your pinky would be starting here at the 15th fret on the first string. You pick down chromatically and then you bring your pinky over here to the 14th fret.
The intro starts on the low E string and it goes like this. So, then it is the B, A, and see, I keep this D string ringing on the G throughout the whole thing.
