A Minor-Centred Gesture Synth Lesson for Greensleeves
Greensleeves is used here as a public-domain chord-control study centred on A minor. The exercise asks for repeated minor-world resets, three neighbouring major degrees, an E7 dominant shape and a C/E inversion, making it more demanding than a basic I–IV–V lesson.
The page supplies an original sequence of harmonic targets for practising webcam gestures. It does not reproduce lyrics, a note-for-note melody, sheet music, backing audio or a third-party recording. Work slowly enough to hear whether each recognized chord is intentional.

Map the Greensleeves Chord-Control Sequence
The targets are Am–G–F–E7, followed by Am–C/E–G7–Am. Relative to C major, they use degrees VI, V, IV and III, then VI, I, V and VI. Am needs the minor world; G and F use basic major triads; E7 and G7 use four fingers; C/E uses two.
Treat the title as context, not as a promise of melody playback. The live exercise scores only whether your current degree, chord world, quality and octave match the stored target. That makes it a focused coordination lesson rather than an automatic performance of the tune.
- Am: degree VI with a basic minor-world triad.
- G and F: basic major-world triads on degrees V and IV.
- E7 and G7: four-finger dominant-seventh targets.
- C/E: degree I with the two-finger first inversion.
Make the Minor-World Reset Deliberate
Practise Am–G–F–E7 without the click. Before returning to Am, decide that degree VI and the minor world must change together. Hold the wrist angle until the Am label is stable; a hurried reset often produces A major or an unrelated intermediate chord.
Then isolate E7–Am. The dominant target needs degree III in the major world with four right-hand fingers, while Am needs degree VI in the minor world with the basic quality. Say those properties before moving so each hand has a separate job.

Connect C/E and G7 Without Extra Shapes
For C/E, select degree I in the major world and show the two-finger inversion. Move to G7 by changing to degree V and four fingers while keeping right-hand height steady. Finish on Am by resetting degree VI, the minor world and the basic quality in a controlled order.
Run C/E–G7–Am three times at half speed. The inversion, seventh and minor target each test a different right-hand or wrist property. If recognition flickers, stop at the failed chord and correct only the property chip that does not match.
Correct Common Greensleeves Practice Errors
An E7 that appears as E needs a clearer four-finger quality. A C/E that remains C needs two distinct fingers. An Am that appears as A major needs a firmer minor-world wrist angle. Keep palms separated and wrists visible so one hand does not hide the landmarks of the other.
Begin without the 74 BPM click, then change every second click before using the stored pace. Test wired audio if synthesized chords feel late after the visual label updates. Camera frames remain local for live landmark processing, and no microphone or recording is required.
Compare the two dominant resolutions that frame the exercise. E7–Am changes degree III to VI, moves from the major world to minor and returns the right hand from four fingers to the basic quality. G7–Am changes degree V to VI with the same reset from four fingers to the basic quality and from the major world to minor. Practise each pair three times with the click off, naming the properties that move before forming the next pose. Add C/E immediately before G7 only after the two-finger inversion is stable. This sequence turns the progression's minor centre, secondary dominant colour and inversion into three distinct control lessons while keeping the stored eight-target order intact.

Answers before you play
Greensleeves Gesture Synth FAQ
Is this full Greensleeves sheet music?
No. It is an original eight-target chord-control exercise based on a public-domain tune, without lyrics, melody notation, backing audio or a recording.
Why does the page use C as the displayed key?
The gesture degrees are mapped within C major while the progression centres on its relative minor, A minor. This lets the exercise combine Am with F, G, E7, C/E and G7 targets.
What is the hardest transition?
E7 to Am changes degree, chord world and right-hand quality. Practise that pair slowly before running all eight targets.
Can I practise without the metronome?
Yes. The click is optional; free practice is recommended until the chord label and property chips settle consistently.
