An Auld Lang Syne Gesture Synth Chord Lesson
This public-domain practice arrangement turns Auld Lang Syne into a focused harmony and hand-control lesson. The eight targets use F, B-flat, C7, F/A and G minor, so you can practise primary degrees, a first inversion, a dominant seventh and one minor-world change in a compact sequence.
The exercise is not sheet music and does not reproduce lyrics, a sung melody, a commercial recording or backing audio. It supplies original chord-control targets for the Gesture Synth interface, with a steady 76 BPM reference that leaves time to prepare each pose.

Learn the Eight Auld Lang Syne Chord Targets
The stored sequence is F–C7–F–B-flat, then F/A–Gm–C7–F. In scale-degree terms that is I–V–I–IV, followed by I–ii–V–I. Keep the key selector on F. A basic right-hand triad produces F and B-flat, four raised fingers form C7, two form the F/A inversion, and the Gm target combines degree II with the minor world.
Read the live chord label before moving on. The page advances from recognition of the complete gesture, not from the familiar tune. That distinction lets you diagnose whether a missed target came from the left-hand degree, wrist world or right-hand quality instead of guessing from sound alone.
- F and B-flat: stable major-world basic triads.
- C7: degree V with a clear four-finger seventh shape.
- F/A: keep degree I and change only to the two-finger inversion.
- Gm: select degree II and settle the minor world before the triad.
Use the Slow Pulse to Practise Smooth Transitions
Begin without the metronome and hold every target until all recognition chips agree. Next, enable 76 BPM and feel two quiet beats before preparing the following chord. Keep both hands inside the frame during the preparation; dropping a wrist between chords makes the tracker reacquire the pose and creates a gap that sounds like a timing error.
Keep right-hand height nearly level so the volume does not swell on every change. The useful performance skill here is continuity: form C7 before the cadence, relax into F/A without changing degree, then make the Gm world change deliberate rather than fast.

Separate F/A, Gm and C7 into Three Mini-Drills
First alternate F and F/A five times while leaving the left hand on degree I. Second, alternate F and Gm slowly, checking that degree II and the minor world arrive before the basic triad. Third, repeat Gm–C7–F to isolate the ii–V–I cadence. These drills reduce the number of changing properties and make the full pass more predictable.
After the three pairs are accurate, play all eight targets twice. Use the completed count only as session feedback; no account is required and the result is not saved to a cloud profile. For a custom slower loop, rebuild the sequence in the sequencer rather than changing the canonical tutorial arrangement.

Fix Flat-Key, Minor-World and Audio Problems
If B-flat is missing, confirm the page remains in F major and the left hand is selecting degree IV. If F/A stays F, make the two-finger quality clearer without moving the left hand. If Gm becomes a major G chord, settle the wrist into the minor world before presenting the right-hand triad. Hidden fingers are the most common reason C7 simplifies to C.
A changing chord label with no audible result points to browser audio, tab mute or output volume rather than tracking. An unchanged label points to framing, lighting or hand mapping. Camera landmarks are processed locally after Start, and the exercise never needs microphone access or an uploaded video.
Answers before you play
Auld Lang Syne Gesture Synth FAQ
Is this full Auld Lang Syne sheet music?
No. It is an original eight-target chord-control exercise based on a public-domain song. It does not display lyrics, a note-for-note melody or a backing recording.
Why is this Auld Lang Syne exercise in F major?
F major creates a clear I–IV–V7 set with B-flat and C7 while supporting F/A and Gm as useful inversion and minor-world targets.
What should I practise before the complete sequence?
Alternate F with F/A, then F with Gm, and finally repeat Gm–C7–F. Each mini-drill isolates one control change.
Does Gesture Synth record my camera while I practise?
No. Hand landmarks are processed locally in the browser for live control; camera video is not recorded or uploaded by this exercise.
