Practice Tips
Understanding and utilizing the unique features of the Tunefox platform significantly enhances your learning. 'Lick Switcher' is a key feature that allows you to add new lick vocabulary and change the licks for individual measures. This opens up numerous potential variations for the song, offering you the opportunity to mold the arrangement according to your preferences and explore fresh interpretations of the tune.

Furthermore, a notable feature is the 'Arrange' slider which provides control in customizing the difficulty level. By sliding it to the left, many "fill-in" notes disappear, revealing a core, simple arrangement; swiping right dispenses extra notes, fleshing out the whole song.

Your journey to mastering "Big Spike Hammer" wouldn't be complete without experimenting with the tempo. Vary your speed with the convenient 'Tempo' slider; start at a pace comfortable to you, then gradually increase the tempo.

Practicing to backing tracks not only provides an enjoyable experience but also prepares you for your next jam session. Select measures you need to work on, play them on repeat with 'Speed Up' function which incrementally increases the playback tempo, facilitating a gentle progression to higher speeds.

Remember, the process of learning bluegrass is not only about mastering the technique, it's also about playing the music and experimenting. So, let your fingers free on the strings and play along with real-sounding backing tracks!
