10. More Notes on the D-string
In this course we’ll be looking at the remaining notes on the D-string, within the first five frets. These notes are the D#/Eb at the first fret, and the F at the third. We’ll also be working through some exercises that combine these new notes with some of the others that we’ve learnt in the previous courses.

1. More Notes on the D-string
In this video we’ll be looking at two new notes on the D-string – the D#/Eb at the first fret, and the F at the third. We’ll also work through a bassline that makes use of these notes.
2. Exercise 68
This exercise makes extensive use of the Eb and has a Soul/Motown sound.
3. Exercise 69
In this exercise you will be playing the note F in two positions: at the third fret of the D-string, and an octave lower, at the first fret of the E-string.
4. Exercise 70
This line moves from the Eb at the first fret, up to the F at the third fret, but with the E in between also being played.
5. Exercise 71
This exercise is a simple funk line that makes use of both of the new notes.
