"AUDIO"

     In this exercise, we will use the slap/pop technique, which is done by striking the strings with the outside of your right thumb and pulling off of the strings with your right index or middle finger.  The left hand will be outlining 7th chords omitting the 5th.  Starting with the right thumb then the hammering down of the left index finger, pulling off with the right index and middle and lastly the heel of the right hand to make a percussive sound.
 

     After perfecting these techniques, try adding your own notes...limitations are all up to you.
