This rhythmic pattern is played without clamping chords. It is quite easy to use only one hand at the beginning of the training. Training will help you learn to act confidently and calmly. It is worth noting that the "Six" battle is the second most difficult. You should play like this:
- downward movement, then a pause, during which the hand rises;
- up and down movement, then pause, the hand goes down;
- up-down-up movement.
