Here’s the lovely bit.
Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Place the A minor chord tones on e/a subdivisions as well as beats; use the slow reference tempo. Tap the indicated string/fret positions; the number keys use the currently selected chord shape. Picking direction and fretting technique are not scored. Pattern positions count from 1; 1.5 is the & of beat 1, and 1.25/1.75 are e/a. A2 (string 5, fret 0) at 1; A3 (string 3, fret 2) at 1.25; E3 (string 4, fret 2) at 1.5; C4 (string 2, fret 1) at 1.75; A3 (string 3, fret 2) at 5; A2 (string 5, fret 0) at 5.25; E3 (string 4, fret 2) at 5.5; C4 (string 2, fret 1) at 5.75. The pattern lasts 8 quarter-note beats; leave gaps silent.
Today’s little goalPlay the 8-beat pattern at 48 BPM with at least 80% recall and precision.
