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.
- Thumb (p) for strings 6-5-4, index (i) / middle (m) alternating on strings 3-2-1. Look at the tab: 0 means open string.
