The Lappenballerina
by Harry Sacksioni
This a great excercise if you want to improve your fingerpicking
technique or increase your speed. Once you got it in your fingers
it's not easy to lay down the guitar again. Play it uptempo for
the best result. Make sure you got the timing of the E string
bassline (dah dah dum) right; this is what makes or breaks the song.
OK, well have fun with it!
peace, Christo
