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.
• Count two big beats per bar. The G♯ (leading note) is string 3, fret 1; the F♯ is string 1, fret 2.
