This is a level 4 version of “Ich Bitt’ dich,” which also exists on the site as a level 8, third position exercise. In this version we focus on reading notes on strings 4 and 5. Reading on Strings 4-6: When teaching new notes on strings 4-6 instruct the class to use p only. This eliminates confusion that can arise from trying to learn new notes while at the same time crossing to the bass strings on the guitar for the first time. The learning of these notes generally occurs in just two weeks of intensive study. Use lots of repetition, and playing and saying with the whole class to acquire these new notes. It is helpful to point out that the notes on string 6 are the same letters, on the same frets as the notes on string 1. It is also helpful to point out that both string 4 and 5 have their natural notes on the open string, fret 2 and fret 3.
