E major sixteenth placement.

Place the E major chord tones on e/a subdivisions as well as beats; use the slow reference tempo.

01 THE LITTLE IDEA

Here’s the lovely bit.

Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Place the E major 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. E2 (string 6, fret 0) at 1.25; E3 (string 4, fret 2) at 1.5; B2 (string 5, fret 2) at 2; G♯3 (string 3, fret 1) at 3.5; E3 (string 4, fret 2) at 5.25; E2 (string 6, fret 0) at 5.5; B2 (string 5, fret 2) at 6; G♯3 (string 3, fret 1) at 7.5. 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.
