These exercises include all possible fingering permutations. Master each before moving on. Try taking them all over the neck, along the string, basically use you your imagination! Start without a metronome, then move to one note per beat (crotchets/quarter notes) at a snail's pace on the 'nome (maybe 80b.p.m.). Raise this steadily to 160 b.p.m. then you're ready for 2 notes per beat (quavers/8th notes) at 80 b.p.m. Repeat the process to 160 b.p.m. then go to 16th notes at 80 b.p.m.. Master these at 160 b.p.m. plus and you're ready for "Flight of the Bumble Bee"!
