Play all in 4/4 timing

1. A mixolydian example in G with the purpose of strengthening

the precision and accuracy of the pinky.

2. Basically the same as previous figure except this strengthens

the index and middle finger.

3. This one is also in G Mixolydian, but I believe it sounds more

colourful than the previous two.

When you believe you have enough strength and speed to play these

examples as one move away from the tenth fret of the A string,

move to the third fret on the E string and do it all again.
