In this exercise, we use the pointer and pinky finger across 3 half steps.Show more

Usually you would learn that 3 half-steps is a minor 3rd,

And usually you would learn that, within the context of the Minor Pentatonic Scale.

These being your first 2 notes: root1 - m3

However, 3 half-step maneuvers are not limited to the role of minor 3rd,

And therefore, the rote exercises we do today, will help us make these maneuvers more easily when we have to do them in other contexts.
