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.
- For A minor, don’t strum the 6th string (marked “x” in the diagram). Change chords during the last beat without stopping the strumming hand.
