What makes it tricky
The 2/4 time with dotted eighths and sixteenths gives it the skip, and it is also where most mistakes happen. It is in G major, so the key signature has an F sharp, even though the right-hand tune never touches F.
How to practice it
- Sing or clap the rhythm first. If you know the words, the rhythm comes much more naturally.
- Pick Right hand at 50%, put your thumb on D and keep that position for the whole piece.
- Pick Both at 75%. The left hand has few notes, so focus on both hands landing on the beat together.
