Intro:

   Commonly ghost notes as played with just the left hand (right handed players)..
 So in order to bring both hands dynamic control out, I came up with the following
 exercises...

   The following exercises as played using SINGLE strokes in 16th note triplets
 (sextuplets)
  


  Well, that's about it... So Enjoy !





Aim #1: Get comfortable playing each rhythm through once, with & without the counting, if
        you can do this, try playing it 2,3,4 times through or more without stopping. 


Aim #2: Try for a range of tempos, Start out slowly (around 70 / 80 bpm's) then medium
        (100bpm) and fast up to (120/130 bpm's or higher). The objective is make each
        note clean and evenly spaced. 


Aim #3: Try playing each line of exercises without stopping, keeping it evenly spaced
        the entire time. Next, Try 2 lines, then 3 lines and ultimately the entire
        lesson from top to bottom. To take this another step further, you can try
        playing the exercises randomly, this will help your reading and visualization
        skills greatly.



     NOTE:  THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES ARE TO BE PLAYED AS 16th note TRIPLETS !
