Read the Two-Section A-Major Route

Section one is A–E7–D–A/C-sharp: I–V7–IV–I in first inversion. Section two is F-sharp minor–Bm7–E7–A: vi–ii7–V7–I. The overlay pauses after A/C-sharp and waits at a section-complete screen; choose Next section to begin the minor bridge.

On the left hand, degree I uses one raised finger, degree V uses all five digits, degree IV uses four raised fingers, degree VI uses index plus little finger and degree II uses two raised fingers. Tilt the left wrist to the minor world for F-sharp minor and Bm7. On the right hand, use one finger for triads, two for A/C-sharp, three for Bm7 and four for E7.

• Targets 1–2: left degree I plus right triad, then left degree V plus four-finger dominant seventh.
• Targets 3–4: left degree IV plus right triad, then left degree I plus a two-finger first inversion.
• Targets 5–6: keep the left wrist in the minor world while changing from degree VI to degree II and the right hand from one finger to three.
• Targets 7–8: restore the left wrist to major, use degree V with four right-hand fingers, then resolve to degree I with one right-hand finger.

Create Legato by Reducing Recognition Gaps

Keep the wrists and palms in a comfortable, camera-readable area. Change only the fingers and left-wrist tilt required by the next target; lateral travel does not select degree. A smooth transition is one in which the current target locks, the hands reshape during the confirmation pause and the next complete target appears without a long blank or a series of incorrect labels.

Begin with the built-in metronome off and complete section one until every target locks predictably. A complete match must remain stable for about 350 milliseconds. The next target appears after a 650-millisecond confirmation pause, which gives you time to release tension and prepare the next finger pattern without rushing.

Build the F-sharp-Minor–Bm7–E7 Bridge One Control at a Time

For F-sharp minor, show index plus little finger on the left for degree VI, tilt the left wrist to minor and show one raised finger on the right for a triad. For Bm7, keep the minor wrist world, change the left hand to the two-finger degree-II pattern and open three fingers on the right. For E7, restore the left wrist to major, show all five digits for degree V and open four fingers on the right.

Use Repeat section to practise targets five through eight. Say the changing control before forming it—left degree, left world, right quality—then wait for the match chips to confirm the result. This sequence turns the bridge into a reproducible set of inputs rather than an unsupported movement between imaginary chord positions.

Use the Fixed 76 BPM Reference and Fix Unstable Targets

After both sections work without a click, enable the built-in metronome. It runs at the song's fixed 76 BPM and begins after the first detected chord; it does not advance the target. The metronome stops at the section break, so choose Next section and enable it again for the second half. Use a separate metronome if you need a custom slower tempo.

If Bm7 reads as B minor, keep left degree II and the minor wrist world while separating three right-hand fingertips. If E7 reads as E, keep all five left-hand digits visible for degree V and four right-hand fingers for the dominant seventh. If the visual target locks but audio arrives late, close graphics-heavy tabs, enable low-performance mode and compare wired audio.
