Pedal note

Hold one bass note still while the chords move above it.

  1. Guess first

    Done

    Guess, then hear it. Until now the bass has followed the chords.

    Choose, then hear it.

    1. The chords change every bar. What happens if the bass stays on one note?

  2. Make it a pedal

    Done

    Here the bass follows the chords, root by root. Move all four notes up to the Pedal row, so it stays on A while the chords change around it.

    8 boxes to fix.
