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.
• Plant your fingers on their strings and keep the triplets perfectly even; bring out the top note when it carries the melody. Settle all fingerings first (both hands), then raise the tempo step by step. It climbs high up the neck (beyond the 7th fret): the tab shows the lowest position, so adapt the fingering.
