Hall of the Mountain King
As part of my tuition for guitar I’ve written out some of the best beginners peices.
The following is and excellent introduction to the E, A and D strings.
To play and exercise you fingers properly try and play it using the correct fingers.
For this peice use the same number finger as the fret:
1st finger = 1st fret.
2nd finger = 2nd fret.
3rd finger = 3rd fret.
Below is a small peice of ‘Hall of the Mountain King’ written in notation and TAB.

V X V X
V = Down
X = Up
