If you have done the previous parts in this blues fingerpicking series then you should be ready to apply yourself to this exercise because it is using a picking method (the thumb plays a bass note and one or more other fingers picks a melody note after it) from an earlier workout, but the focus now is on timing and in particular, rhythmic independence.
If you are struggling getting going with this then it just means you need more work on the foundations, so go to TECHNIQUE 33 which is focussed on timing and counting - find it by typing shuffle into the search field of the Archive page. Also type in independence and then blues fingerpicking to find all the other related studies.
