Pop in C (with barre) — syncopated rhythm
This syncopated version combines two difficulties already met separately elsewhere in the catalogue: the F barre (already present in this grid's regular version) and the off-beat (already worked on the catalogue's G grid, entirely open). Here, the barre has to hold while the right hand handles a more complex rhythm pattern — the two difficulties stack instead of being practised in isolation.
Tips
If the F barre isn't reliable yet on this grid's regular version, work on it there first before adding the syncopation here.
If the syncopation itself is the issue, isolate it on the catalogue's G grid, entirely open, before coming back here.
Only tackle this version once both building blocks (the barre and the off-beat) are solid separately.
