The subject matter of this exercise is odd time signature rhythm.

The inspiration for this post came from fiddling with Ebmaj7 flamenco chord which turned out to be a great foundation for this stimulating fingerstyle workout.  

What makes this exercise so mind-bending is a double time division. The fingerstyle pattern is played on three consecutive strings and then on another four consecutive strings. This is played two times which sums into 14 sixteen notes: 3+4 + 3+4

On the other hand, the rhythm pattern is divided into 3+3 + 4+4 or 6+8. Therefore, I suggest that you should first master the fingerstyle pattern and later just accentuate the first and the seventh note. In the PDF file, I visually split sixteen notes into groups of 6 and 8 to point out that accents are at the beginning of each group.
