How to practise it
- Start on the E string with the middle finger on fret 5, so every note is in reach without moving the hand.
- Say the note names as you play: A B C♯ D E F♯ G♯ A.
- Move it to fret 3 for G major or fret 8 for C major — the fingering doesn't change.
- Start at 60 BPM. Only speed up when you can play it cleanly three times in a row — the goal is 120 BPM.
