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 --------| --------| --------| --------| --------| ----0h2-| Play this first bar twice E||------------|------------|------------|------------|| B||------0-----|0-----------|------0-----|0-----------|| G||*-----3-----|0-----------|------3-----|0----------*|| D||*-----0-----|2-----------|------0-----|2----------*|| A||------------|3-----------|------------|3-----------|| E||3-----------|------0-0h2-|3-----------|------0-0h2-|| Then proceed to E|------------|------------|------------|------------| B|----------0-|1p0---------|----------0-|1p0---------| G|------0h3---|----0-------|------0h3---|----2-------| D|----0-------|------2-----|----0-------|------0-----| A|------------|3-----------|------------|------------| E|3-----------|--------0h2-|3-----------|2-------0h2-| E|------------|----------0-|----------0-|------------| B|----------0-|1p0---0h1---|2p0---0h2---|1p0---------| G|------0h3---|----0-------|----0-------|----2-------| D|----0-------|------2-----|------2-----|------0-----| A|------------|3-----------|0-----------|------------| E|3-----------|------------|------------|2-------0h2-| E|------------|------------|------------|------------| B|----------0-|1p0---------|----------0-|1p0---------| G|------0h3---|----0-------|------0h3---|----2-------| D|----0-------|------2-----|----0-------|------0-----| A|------------|3-----------|------------|------------| E|3-----------|--------0h2-|3-----------|2-------0h2-| E|------------|----------0-|------------|------------| B|----------0-|1p0---0h1---|2p0---1p0---|------------| G|------0h3---|----0-------|----0-----2-|0-----------| D|----0-------|------2-----|------------|------------| A|------------|3-----------|0-----------|------------| E|3-----------|------------|------2-----|3-----------| You can repeat the whole thing once more if you feel like it.
