This is something that i do for about half an hour a day to warmup 
my fingers for speed.
it just helps you coordinate your finger movements while listening 
to omething else.
when i learned this i was still playing a four string fender jazz 
bass with medium frets, 
but know im playing a five string with jumbo frets so as you can 
imagine it got much more 
difficult for me to do. anyway here it is.

the tuning doesnt matter at all, you're just playing a note on 
each fret and it's excatly the same on a five or six string

|------------1234----4321-------------------------2345----5432
|--------1234------------4321-----------------2345------------5432
|----1234--------------------4321---------2345--------------------5432
|1234----------------------------4321-2345----------------------------5432 

hopefully you get the pattern by now all you do is just start on 
the first fret and then play til fourth fret on each string 
and then reverse it. you can go all the way down to the end of your 
fretfoard or you can stop at the twelfh fret

after you do that whole long exercise to really practice your 
finger speed play this

if you can play that extremely fast then i will actually shine 
your your shoes everyday fo free because 
this is just that difficult
and for beginners the small (h) means hammer-on to do this just 
play the note before the small (h) 
and then place your finger on the note after it, it's just like 
a slur when your reading music
