This is a great exercise to get your fingers in shape.

Right hand
Play the string down – up – down – up which is called alternate picking. Hold the pick not too hard but just enough so the pick does not shake around in your fingers.

Left hand
Place your index finger on the 6^th string 1^st fret. Pluck the string down with your right hand.
Place your middle finger on the 6^th string 2^nd fret. Pluck the string up with your right hand.
Place your ring finger on the 6^th string 3^rd fret. Pluck the string down with your right hand.
Place your pinky finger on the 6^th string 4^th fret. Pluck the string up with your right hand.
Move on to the 5^th string and repeat.
6^th – 5^th – 4^th – 3^rd – 2^nd – 1^st – 2^nd – 3^rd – 4^th – 5^th – 6^th
Start from the 2^nd fret and move on.
