Practice Tips

  • Start slowly at 50-60% of the original tempo and gradually increase speed
  • Practice the chord transitions separately before attempting the full song
  • Use a metronome to maintain consistent timing
  • Focus on clean, clear notes rather than speed
  • Break the song into sections and master each part individually
