Putting Both Hands Together: Chords + Rhythm

This is the full practice mode: the chord diagram above highlights which string to play, while the number stream below keeps your right hand exactly on the beat. It combines everything from the separate right-hand and left-hand drills into real playing — fingerpicking patterns and strumming scores included.

The key is separation before combination: practice the chord changes in the left-hand drill and the pattern in the right-hand drill until each is automatic, then merge them at a slow tempo. Count out loud if you lose the beat, and slow down whenever your hands stop synchronizing — clean and slow always beats fast and sloppy.
