String-skip zigzag riff — D minor New

Level 5 metal

A riff built on wide string skips (non-adjacent strings) within the D minor pentatonic, to train picking-hand accuracy beyond a simple string-by-string run.

Tips

Aim for a clean sound at fast tempo, including on the string skips: every note should ring out as clearly as the last.
