Eighth Notes, Quarter Notes in Ab

If you don't know how to read guitar tab (as computer text), this section of a Wikipedia article may help.

When we're counting 8th notes in 4/4, each measure would go something like 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and...and so on. For this exercise, think (and strum) 1 and TWOOO, 3 and 4 and... Unlike the rest of the measure (in 8th notes), you'll hold the second beat for a quarter note:


Ab5
e|--------------------------
B|--------------------------
G|--------------------------
D|--------6-----------6--6--
A|--------6-----------6--6--
E|--4--4--4-----4--4--4--4--
