The -v-v-v- movement

Even better than -v-v-, this is harder to get and integrte. Fortunately, this is not used so often. It can mostly be seen on arpeggios such as the one used in part B of Montagne Ste-Geneviève.

Exercise

The typical v-v-v- exercise. Quickly becomes very intense.

Exercise

To get started with -v-v-v-. I find it harder on the lower strings. Going up, it's merely a sweep.

Exercise

A variation on the previous exercise but a bit more complex, with more consecutive downstrokes and a final -v-v- final on the upper E string.

Exercise

Excerpt from Sweet Georgia Brown.
