Check what you play
Optional: the microphone or a MIDI instrument compares the note you play with the expected one.
Detection compares single notes: it doesn't judge fingering, tone or expression. Only you can assess that.
Technique tips
- Sing the sequence in your head before playing it.
- Use strict alternate picking.
Common mistakes
- Returning to the root unnecessarily.
- Changing the fingering every time.
How did it go?
