Practicing Tips

The 'East Virginia Blues' learning resource presents a wonderful opportunity for intermediate bass players. Boasting comprehensive tablatures in Solo and Backup Styles, it beautifully combines the thrill of an up-tempo vocal song with the technique-enhancing benefits of advanced bass playing.

Our innovative Tunefox platform comes with several unique features to enhance your learning experience. The Lick Switcher, for instance, allows you to revamp your lick vocabulary, bringing new perspectives to the same song. Since you can change the licks for each measure, the possibilities are endless, giving you space to customize your arrangement and learn new interpretations of the tune. Just tap on the measure to unveil the hidden licks.

The Arrange slider is another fantastic feature. This allows you to decide your learning difficulty level with utmost accuracy. Slide it to the left to remove the 'fill-in' notes for a straightforward, core arrangement. Swipe it to the right, and presto! All the added notes return, filling out the arrangement and revealing the song in its full glory.

Adjusting your learning pace has never been easier. Simply use the tempo slider to modify the tempo and practice at your own pace. Then, the 'Speed Up' function will gradually push the tempo up each time you play through the song, fostering smooth progression towards faster speeds.

Accompanied by backing tracks, repetitive practice is no longer monotonous. Concentrate on specific measures and practice repeatedly, all the while making it less tedious and more enjoyable.

Remember, mastering 'East Virginia Blues' or any song, for that matter, is a process. Be patient with your journey and make the most of every practice session. The more comfortably you can play the song at a slower tempo, the more naturally you'll play at higher speeds. Happy learning!
