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.
  • Play the tune alternating index and middle fingers (i-m); the tab shows the fret of each note. Start in Wait mode, then sing the tune while playing.
