Map the C-Major Quality Sequence

Section one is C–F–C/E–G7. C begins with degree I, a major wrist and one right-hand finger. F moves the left hand to degree IV but preserves the same world and triad quality. C/E returns to degree I and changes only the right hand to two fingers. G7 then moves to degree V and expands the right hand to four fingers in the major world.

Section two is Am–Dm7–G7–C. A minor uses degree VI, a minor wrist and one right-hand finger. Dm7 stays in the minor world, moves to degree II and opens three right-hand fingers. G7 changes back to the major world, degree V and four fingers. C closes on degree I with one right-hand finger, matching the opening state.

Rehearse the right-hand quality route separately: one, one, two, four, then one, three, four, one. Next rehearse the wrist route: four major targets, two minor targets and two major targets. When those patterns are clear, add the changing left-hand degrees. This staged method reduces accidental near-matches.

• Targets 1 and 8: identical degree-I major triads for C.
• Target 3: degree I with two right-hand fingers for C/E.
• Target 6: degree II in the minor world with three right-hand fingers for Dm7.
• Targets 4 and 7: degree V with four right-hand fingers for G7.

Change One Gesture Property at a Time

C-to-F changes only the left degree, and F-to-C/E changes degree plus right-hand quality while preserving the major wrist. Use these transitions to confirm that horizontal position is irrelevant. Keep the wrists in stable camera zones and form the exact finger count instead of moving toward an imagined chord area.

A complete target locks after its four properties remain correct for about 350 milliseconds. The 650-millisecond confirmation pause lets you release the old shape and prepare the next one. If two right-hand fingers collapse into one, spread them without moving the left hand. If G7 flickers, check that all four right fingertips remain visible.

Prepare the Minor Pair at the Section Break

After the first G7 locks, the section-complete screen waits for you. Preview A minor by forming degree VI, tilting the left wrist into the minor world and showing one right-hand finger. Select Next section only when that state is ready. The optional click stops at the boundary, so the exercise never forces the transition.

A minor to Dm7 keeps the left wrist minor. Move the degree from VI to II and open the right hand from one finger to three. The next Dm7-to-G7 change alters degree, world and quality together, so prepare it in that order. Repeat section two until the wrist returns to major without disturbing the four-finger G7 shape.

Use the Fixed 88 BPM Reference and Fix Misreads

Complete a full pass with the click off, then enable the built-in metronome. It begins after the first detected chord and stays at the song's fixed 88 BPM. The pulse is only a reference: it cannot lock an incomplete target, skip a chord or start the second section. Enable it again after Next section when you want the same pace for the closing four targets.

If C/E reads as C, maintain degree I and show two right-hand fingers. If A minor or Dm7 remains major, preserve the degree count and make the minor wrist tilt clearer. If Dm7 reads as a triad, use three fingers on the right; if G7 reads as G, use four. A clean visual lock followed by late audio indicates output delay rather than a gesture error.

Finish with one pass that names qualities and another that names degrees. Then complete all eight targets without Skip at the fixed reference. These checks verify control of the browser instrument. They do not reproduce or assess the traditional song's melody, words or a published arrangement.
