Oefen de barré-greep F
F is een barré-akkoord. Leg je wijsvinger plat over alle snaren en druk stevig; oefen 'm los tot elke snaar helder klinkt voordat je 'm in het nummer gebruikt.

Wissel oefenen: F ↔ A
Speel elk akkoord 4 tellen, dan 2, dan 1 — met de metronoom op 60-70 bpm. Voer het tempo pas op als de wissel schoon en op tijd is.
