String-skip zigzag riff — E minor New
A riff built on wide string skips (non-adjacent strings) within the E minor pentatonic, to train picking-hand accuracy beyond a simple string-by-string run.
Tips
Once the riff feels stable, add a slow metronome and increase it in steps of 5 to 10 BPM, without ever sacrificing steadiness.
