Part three will now focus on learning notes on the third string. To help you learn we’ve kept notes on string one in purple, notes on string two in blue and notes on the third string will be green. Remember that your goal is to memorise your notes. As you progress through this lesson you’ll notice the hints, explanations and colour guides will slowly be removed.
