3. G's Wood(E) (#1196) by James Pitney (398)
   This one's great for incorporating/alternating hammer-ons with slap (practicing hitting the correct strings with your thumb). The faster you get, the more your accuracy improves, and vice-versa. Pretty impressive w/practice!

4. Timing Is Everything (#1219) by James Pitney (398)
   This little exercise does it all! Builds speed in both left-hand tapping & right-hand finger alternation. Most importantly, it puts your timing to the test! Better have a good drummer around (Aaron)!
