Copper Drift

A free chill practice piece for electric guitar, level 4 (confident). Written for TabFollower, where the tab scrolls over a live band that hears what you play.

What you practise

Copper Drift keeps the lead on strings 1 to 5 (e to A), between fret 0 and fret 12, so it suits a confident player working on chill feel. Techniques drawn on the tab: 20 vibrato, 12 slides, 10 hammer-ons, 5 pull-offs, 2 bends. The band plays 4 beats to the bar at 86 bpm; in the app you can take it down to 22 bpm and let it wait for you in Practice mode, or switch off the clock entirely in Step mode.
