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.
  • The pickup (“Oh when the”) starts on beat 2. Play the tune with the thumb or alternating i-m; a friend can strum the chords.
