What to practice: Believe In Me

How to practice it most effectively: Use a metronome and try playing once every two clicks at a range of speeds. Try going as fast and as slow as you can. The slower you go the more time you have to focus on tone, long notes and finger placement. The faster you go the closer you’ll be to the speed of the song.
