Left and Right Hand Cordination

todays lessons is a bit of getting back to bassics ( no pun intended). But the real deal today is getting that left hand working with the right hand fluently. The first step is taking it slow of course but i have a few excercies i have made that have tremendously helped me form a more consistent and better technique.
ok the first one is working in the pentatonic scale that i practice every day because you will have to go up and down the strings over and over and you will be building speed accuracy and finger strength. And for the tabs we are in A pentatonic starting in the first position at the 5th fret.

G-----------------------------------------------------5------5--7------

D-------------------------------5------5--7--5--7------7-------------

A----------5-----5--7--5--7------7-----------------------------------

E---5--8-----8---------------------------------------------------------

G--7--5-----5-----------------------------------------------------------

D---------7-----7--5--7--5------5-------------------------------------

A------------------------------7------7--5--7--5-----5----------------

E----------------------------------------------------8-----8--5---------

All this exercise is is just overlapping the scale three notes at a time. this will really get your hand going but make sure you play it correctly and slowly. you can also do this in the major scale as well. its great practice and it builder your finger strength. i actually recommend doing this more on the major scale then pentatonic because you get more use out of that weak pinky you have


The last exercise for you guys today is another in A pentatonic

G--------------------------------------------------------------5--------------------5--

D-------------------5--------------------5--7--5------5--7-----7--5------5--7-----

A--7--5-----5--7-----7--5------5--7-------------7--------------------7------------

E---------8-------------------8-------------------------------------------------------

Now your hand will get tired doing this and you wont be good at it at first but keep on digging it and you will thank me later for it. Set goals with it first try to get through it with out mistakes then try it twice perfect and then try to get it 4 times perfect and so on. thats the only way to really get a full hand workout.
