Description
This figure uses a combination the 4-Step Pattern and variations, as well as the left-hand technique of a hammer-on.
Here are the steps for this figure:
First: Start by making a D Major chord, then lift your finger off the 1st string so the high E string is now open. This is the Dsus2 chord. Play Variation #1 of the 4-step pattern, in this Dsus2 position. This is measure 1 of this figure.
Next: Begin the next measure with a pinch of the bass note and the highest string, while at the same time hammering onto the second fret of the 1st string with your left middle finger.
Finally: Finish out the measure by completing the pattern on a D major chord.
