This will give your right-hand a challenge.
Strings 10 8 and 6 is played with thumb. Play staccato.
Once the thumb is locked in to its pattern you can add the rest.

I would avoid gum chewing while attempting this...

Hey Bengt, my ol' buddy

This is so good because anyone who has ever played 5-string banjo, can do this lick. I've been experimenting some but this lick has helped me a lot. Take care....Fred

Bengt, that is a very good exercise as an
introduction to "Thumb" style and/or "Fingerstyle" playing.
You're hot!

If my right-hand could perform everything that I can tab, then I'd be a happy man.

No pedals on this one.

And finish with this when you get tired of playing the pattern above
