Standard string tuning (G,D,A,E) recommended
1. Nothing too difficult, just make sure you are stamping your
foot two times per second and that you are counting from 1 to 4
in time with your foot beat. So in other words, you play the next
note each time you finish counting to 4.
|—————————————————0—————————————|
|—4———0———2———————————0—————————|
|—————————————4———————————2—————|
|—————————————————————————————3—|
2. By now you should be able to count to 4 with a steady foot beat
because you will need to play each note in time with your footbeat.
|—————————————————————————————————0—0—0—0—————————————————————————|
|—4—4—4—4—0—0—0—0—2—2—2—2—————————————————0—0—0—0—————————————————|
|—————————————————————————4—4—4—4—————————————————2—2—2—2—————————|
|—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————3—3—3—3—|
3. This one is called a walking bass line. Remember to play each
note in time with your foot, but I'd personally recommend that
you take your time in being able to get used to playing the notes
at your own pace so that you could either remember the notes,
or be able to site read them. Good Luck.

The second measure doubles the time to 1/16th notes, meaning 16 in a measure, and is counted similarly while allowing for time for each note. I generally brake it down to a faster pattern clall in each note as part of four. Thus, my count becomes “one … and … two… and …three …and… four” and I count it four times in a measure.
The third pattern is too fast for a true beginner. Break it down to four bars and you can do it, but you're cutting your time from 1/64 back to 4/4 with 1/8 notes like example 1. You can hear the riff that way, and then speed up as your timing a tonality improve.
