Play Pease Porridge Hot on Gesture Synth

Read the Eight Pease Porridge Hot Targets

The route is F–C7–F/A–B♭, then Gm7–C7–low F–F. In degrees it reads I–V–I in first inversion–IV, ii7–V–I low–I. The seventh qualities and final octave recovery make the route more useful than repeating only three primary triads.

First hold every target for two clicks at 58 BPM. Confirm one finger for a triad, two for F/A, three for Gm7 and four for C7. Add the low-octave thumb only at target seven, then remove it deliberately for the final normal F.

• Targets 1 and 8: standard F home.
• Targets 2 and 6: four-finger C7.
• Targets 3 and 5: F/A inversion and Gm7 colour.
• Target 7: low F followed by a controlled register recovery.

Alternate Clean Releases and Sustained Holds at 116 BPM

Use a short target by relaxing the right-hand quality for less than half a click while keeping wrists and fingertips in frame. Use a long target by holding the recognised chord through the full click. Do not create articulation by moving both hands away; the tracker should never need to rediscover them.

Practise the route in the adjustable sequencer at 58 BPM and raise the tempo in ten-BPM steps. Then return to Learn, whose built-in click stays at 116 BPM, and tally manually how many of the eight targets match on the first deliberate pose. Repeat the fixed-tempo lesson until that number improves rather than treating one lucky pass as stable control.

Recover from Low F Without a Double Trigger

Target seven adds the low-octave control to F; target eight removes it while the degree and basic quality remain tonic. Hold low F for a full click, return the octave control through a small centred motion and keep the one-finger triad unchanged. The label should move directly from low F to F.

Practise only C7–low F–F before the complete route. A direct three-target cadence makes it obvious whether the octave recovery is late, whether C7 fingers are still visible or whether the hands briefly disappear at the bottom of the frame.

Fix Double Triggers, Lost Hands and Low-Octave Misses

If a short release creates two unwanted chords, reduce the release distance and relax only the quality fingers. If a hand disappears, widen the camera frame and keep the wrist visible. If low F is missed, practise the octave control alone before adding degree and quality changes.

Use front light so folded and raised fingers stay distinct. If the displayed chord responds correctly but audio feels delayed, close demanding tabs and compare wired output with Bluetooth. GestureSynth uses local camera landmarks and browser synthesis; this exercise does not need microphone input or a stored video.
