1. More Notes on the D-string

This lesson introduces two new notes on the D-string – the D#/Eb at the first fret, and the F at the third. It also includes 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. As always, the use of rests is important here, as is control of note length.

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. This is known as ‘chromatic’ movement.

5. Exercise #71

This exercise is a simple funk bassline that is mostly played on the top two strings. This line also makes use of both of the new notes.
