Re: Down Up help
It's something you have to learn to play well at speed, the exceptions come later IMHO.
In BG there aren't that many exceptions anyway, when I started dabbling in classical there were more. :-)
And 6/8 time still drives me crazy. :-)
Even if playing DUDU is slowing you down for now, it won't in the long term.
There was a great video posted a while back of some exercises that changed my world, maybe I'll try to find them.
It was essentially 1231 2342 3453 4564 and so on (G to G two octaves), and coming back down (where numbers are the notes in the scale, and some variations).
And you didn't use the pinky trick to stay on the same string but made the string changes.
Those exercises did amazing things for my technique, I still do them frequently.
A little looking and I didn't find it, anybody remember the utube link?
