Okay, now we need a five-note sequence. To shake things up, let’s play
all five notes on one string. In this way, we are creating a variety in the
manner by which the notes are executed. In FIGURE 6, I use a pair of
hammer-on phrases to create the five-note pattern. In bar 2, I combine
the previous seven-note phrase with our new five-note one. FIGURE 7

number (convert a letter to the appropriate number), your date of birth,
or the serial number of your favorite guitar. This approach is sure to
yield totally unexpected results.
