Introduction:

you master the Single String, Two String and Three Note Per String sections in the fastest
way possible.
IMPORTANT:
Remember to use the Five Powerful Practice Techniques. These will help you learn the
material on a much deeper level. To keep them fresh in your mind, I’ve listed below…
