Finger Jam

todays lessons is a very important lesson about our right hand technique. last night i was attempting to play freewill by rush and i got everything perfect untill the breakdown a measure after the guitar solo starts. geddy lee starts playing a mix of 8th notes and 16th notes looking something like this.

G-----------------------------------------
D------------33---55---66---55---3--------
A-5-5---3-4-5---5----5----5--- 5---5-4-3--
E-----5-----------------------------------

now this really tricked me up because i could play it fine some times then other times i would mess up and this is what inspired this lesson. when your plucking your two fingers a good way to practice it to start a bass line with your index finger and alternate your fingers, then do the same bass like but start with the other finger and alternate pick. I never really sat down a practiced this exercise but im sure gonna try to. the reason behind practicing like this is so no matter what order your fingers are playing you will be able to nail the bass line starting with either finger. this is especially useful if you like to jam a lot because you don't always know what your going to be playing. as for exercises for today just take your major scale and run threw it starting with the index finger then start with the middle finger.
