In this lesson, we are going to apply some of the rolls we've been studying to an original piece. Be careful to pay close attention to the Down and Up strokes. Notice how we will switch from Down/Up to Down/Up/Up from one measure to the next. This can be very challenging to learn yet well worth the effort. It will contribute to gaining independence in the right hand (or picking hand if you're left handed). This independence will add fluidity to your playing within all types of styles.
