Our last chord exercise involved the forward roll...we will now learn three main roll patterns that can assist you in gaining more facility with your right-hand picking.

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.
