At 60 BPM one beat lasts 1 s, one bar 4 s, and the 8-bar form 0:32. Count aloud through one full chorus before you play.
Play only the root on the first beat of each change: A (bar 1, A), C# (bar 2, C#m), F# (bar 3, F#m), D (bar 4, D), A (bar 5, A), C# (bar 6, C#m), F# (bar 7, F#m), D (bar 8, D). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to A.
Play A in eighth notes (2 per second at 60 BPM), then sixteenths (4 per second). Stay relaxed; slow tempos expose rushing more than fast ones.
Play A Major Pentatonic (A B C# E F#) up and down in frets 4–8, one note per beat at 60 BPM. Start and finish on A: 6th string fret 5, or 5th string fret 0 for the next position up.
Hold C#, the third of A, for a whole bar (4 s) with slow, even vibrato. When the chord changes, move to the nearest chord tone of the new chord.

| A | A | C# | — |
| C#m | C# | E | — |
| F#m | F# | A | — |
