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
