Standard tuning: E, A, D, G, B, E, from the thickest string to the thinnest. The tab keeps the positions used in the original exercise.

The static score and note sequence work without the interactive player.

Read the tab or choose a few notes to repeat. Use the numbered table under “Read the notes and fret positions” to choose the first and last note. Audio starts only after you press Play.
