    How do you guys feel comfortable playing both of these? Having a hard time deciding what feels comfy here. Oh, and nothing comes after this :)

    1st: 5-4-2-1, 5-4-2-1, 5-4-2-1, 5-4-2-1
    2nd: 4-3-2-1, 2-2-2-1 (Or if it's super fast then 4-3-2-1), 4-3-2-1, 4-3-2-1

    You can do the first one 4-3-2-1 as well, but both should be comfortable.

    Ex1: my preference for that figure is 4-3-2-1. I can get by with 5-4-2-1 but 4-3-2-1 feels more solid for me.

    Ex2: Much more awkward, but for me would depend on the tempo. If it's slow enough I'd just trigger that repeated B with my index finger, so 4-3-2-1 2-2-2-1 / 4-3-2-1 4-3-2-1. At high tempo, I think 4-3-2-1 3-2-3-1 / 4-3-2-1 4-3-2-1.

    Edit: Yup, Mike's "super fast" fingering for Ex2 is definitely superior to 3-2-3-1.

    With all this talk of fingering technique, I feel like we are missing out on a trademark Mike Verta sex analogy here.

    Just saving it for future need.

    Thanks guys :)

    It doesn't really matter now, but bar 2 in ex2 got farked up. It's supposed to be the same as the other three :/
