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.
