Begin by assigning one finger per fret on the B string (or E, this also works for a 4-string). Play the 1st finger/note,then the 2nd, then, 3rd then 4th. Drop down a string and repeat. When you get to the G string work your way back the the B. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. Then move up one fret and repeat. Continue until you've reached the 7th fret, then work your way back down.

On the right hand, try to use your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fingers, or your 1st and 2nd alternately. Set your metronome at a nice, comfortable pace. Make sure each note is sounded CLEANLY. It's inportant to learn the excercise right before you go too fast,or the value of it is lost. On the left hand (or right,for you left-handed players), you will develop finger coordination. On the right hand,finger coordination, as well as finger intercoordination between the two hands.
