9. Big Shift Exercise

The big shift exercise is executed by starting in first posi tion and sliding the hand up the fingerboard into the highest position possible. Then sliding the hand back to its original position. The exercise can be repeated on each string with each finger. The hand should feel free and fluid. The action should be executed smoothly as one motion, going both up and down the fingerboard. Concentration should be very focused on the movement involved with the relationships of the thumb, elbow, hand, and fingers.
