• Listen first: the site plays it while the score scrolls.
• Wait mode: the score waits for you at every note, at your own pace.
• Tempo challenge: play in time, with a score and a map of the bars you got right.
• F is a full barre at the 1st fret. Accent beat one of each bar and let the final E chord ring.
