Give me five

It is mind blowing what you can do with cascading scales. In

Give me five I will show you how to be creative with this
useful technique. This exercise will drive you crazy for a
couple of days. Persevere!

This exercise is in 5/8 so you have five notes in each

bar. It is weird to count 12345 12345 12345 but again,
take it step by step. Practice at your own pace. No need
to rush.
Right hand: The right hand can upset you a little bit. Now,
you dont have to follow the same fingering. You could
come up with your own plucking patter but if you dont
have any idea of what your plucking pattern is use mine.
At least you know its a good one. PLEASE: DONT PLUCK
WITH THE SAME FINGER! I am literally begging you.
Left hand: I want to be honest with you. When I started
using cascading scales it was a nightmare. If you dont
struggle with the left hand at all, you are blessed. If you are
like me (brain and body easily disconnect) you are better
off practice one bar at the time. Make sure the open strings
ring out! You definitely want to watch the vide support!
