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.
- Hammer with the fingertip, quickly and close to the fret. For the pull-off, pull the string slightly towards the floor, like a small pizzicato.
