How to practise it
- 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.
- Rest strokes (apoyando), strictly alternating i-m. The upper runs reach the 8th fret: shift the hand as a block, sliding a guide finger.
