Practice Tips - Lick Switcher
Dive deep into an array of possible variations with the Lick Switcher. This powerful tool affords the possibility of switching licks for individual measures, thereby showcasing the same song in different styles. Choose to experiment and learn new interpretations of the song by creating a personalized arrangement. The key lies in tapping the measure to uncover what alternative licks are available.

Practice Tips - The Arrange Slider
Tailor the difficulty level to your preference with the Arrange slider feature. Sliding it to the left simplifies the song, reducing it to its core arrangement by removing many of the "fill-in" notes. On the other hand, sliding it to the right fills out the tablature with extra notes, thereby recreating the full richness of the song.

Practice Tips - Backing Tracks
Enhance your practice sessions by playing along with real-sounding backing tracks. This method not only makes learning fun but also prepares you for jamming with others. Concentrate on select measures, repeat them, and gradually increase the tempo using the 'Speed Up' function. Starting at a comfortable speed, the 'Speed Up' function will subtly increase the tempo each time you play through the song, allowing you to progressively master higher speeds.
