Example 9 is the first "real" walkup point. I went through it the other day but just to do it and get back to my Christmas music. This morning I ran through the Christmas music set twice then came back to flatpicking. Though it didn't sound like a seasoned pro I did get all the way through it in some fashion of competency and it felt GREAT.
One thing I'm wondering though how to know how to do the walkups (and walkdowns) when looking at a new piece of music. Have people just done it enough that they know how to go from one chord to another or do they know the theory behind them and apply that as they go?
I am interested in learning the "why" for theory but I tend to bog myself down on that. If people learn it a bit then just play and through repetition know the common changes then that's what I'll make myself do as well.
