Practicing Tips

Introducing our 'Gold Rush' learning resource for Bluegrass Banjo Tablatures! Designed for intermediate players, this course delves into the rhythmic delights of Scruggs, Melodic, and Single String Styles. We bring in references to fiddle tunes, instrumental compositions, and up-tempo beats to give your learning a comprehensive and brisk pace.


Our course is delivered on the innovative Tunefox platform, a tool designed to help you learn quickly and have fun while doing so. A notable feature called the Lick Switcher enables you to add new vocabulary to your songs. It turns your familiar tunes into new interpretations and musical journeys. Imagine being able to change the licks for individual measures - you'd explore a myriad of variations for the same song, adding a personal touch to the arrangement while finding unique ways to express the tune. Simply tap the measure to discover what licks are hidden for you.


Moreover, Tunefox provides an Arrange slider to easily customize the difficulty level of your lessons. Swiping to the left, you'll see many "fill-in" notes being safely put aside, leaving you with a core, straightforward arrangement on your tablature. However, if you're up for a challenge, swiping right adds all those extra notes back in, giving you a full-bodied arrangement of the song.


The course also emphasizes the importance of playing with backing tracks, focusing on selected measures and repeating. Additionally, the 'Speed Up' function gradually increases the tempo of the track, which is perfect for students aiming to improve speed and accuracy over time. Begin playing at a tempo you find comfortable; thereafter, 'Speed Up' slightly raises the tempo, pitting you against a slightly faster challenge each time you play.


In conclusion, our 'Gold Rush' learning resource gives you a chance to delve deep into the world of banjo tablature while enjoying the journey thoroughly. Happy learning!
