Intermediate > Module 2.1

Let’s visit with some old friends to help us learn something new. We transpose melodies you’ve already learned. This will help you to practice the fourth finger. I recommend that you first review the tune as you originally learned it. Then learn the transposed version.

Practice these with the drone tracks.
