This is the ultimate fingerstyle exercise and warm up, but also sounds beautiful and is used in many fingerstyle songs! The name refers to the pattern beginning on the inside strings (2, 3, 4 and 5) working to the outside strings (1 and 6) and then back to the inside strings again.
We’re also keeping the 3 string alternating bass to really test your finger picking dexterity!
The only note different here from the previous page is the third finger plays string one. Other than that everything is the same. However, this is a much greater test of your dexterity. Start slow and keep the timing even. Take your time to get it right!
Inside Out, Outside In - with C Chord
Set your tempo on the interactive TAB below (starting slower is fine!). Use the 'loop' feature and play along for around one minute. Double tap on mobile to loop TAB!
Inside Out - Outside In - with G Chord
Set your tempo on the interactive TAB below (starting slower is fine!). Use the 'loop' feature and play along for around one minute. Double tap on mobile to loop TAB!
Again, this is the same pattern as above, only the bass notes are in a different order as the root note is on string 6.
