Amber Drift

A free chill practice piece for electric guitar, level 3 (intermediate). Written for TabFollower, where the tab scrolls over a live band that hears what you play.

What you practise

Amber Drift keeps the lead on strings 1 to 4 (e to D), between fret 0 and fret 12, so it suits a intermediate player working on chill feel. Techniques drawn on the tab: 9 hammer-ons, 6 pull-offs, 2 palm muting. The band plays 4 beats to the bar at 80 bpm; in the app you can take it down to 20 bpm and let it wait for you in Practice mode, or switch off the clock entirely in Step mode.

Structure
