Let's take the same three patterns and apply our Chordal Exercises by barring the 5th and 7th frets...

Notes: Take it slowly...and try your best to keep an even tempo.

1. Forward Roll

2. Forward/Reverse Roll

3. Reverse Roll

Practice the above exercises until you are completely comfortable with sliding and picking simultaneously without hesitating between beats. Remember, these exercises are considered accomplished only if you're keeping an even tempo without losing a beat.
