Practicing Tips

This learning resource is specifically designed to offer bass tablature for the song ‘Forked Deer’ in both Solo and Backup Styles. This material caters particularly to intermediate players, incorporating elements of an old-time, up-tempo fiddle tune. To support your learning journey, you’ll find a host of techniques, guidelines, and helpful hints nestled in with the instruction.


One of the core learning features in focus here is the Tunefox platform‘s ‘Lickswitcher’. This revolutionary tool allows for interchangeable licks in individual measures, thereby fostering a flexible and creative approach to playing and interpreting music. As you experiment with different licks within the song, you’re not just learning to reproduce a tune — you’re gaining a deeper understanding of the song’s structure and picking up the skills to improvise your own music.


Another standout innovation is the ‘Arrange slider’. This interactive instrument gives you the freedom to fine-tune the song’s difficulty level and tone, offering a tailored musical experience that aligns with your skill set and personal styling. You’re not bound to a one-size-fits-all guide. Instead, you freely adapt the song to suit your ability and tastebuds, making your learning process uniquely personal and considerably more engaging.


Knowing that everyone learns differently, we've integrated a special feature for auditory learners. With the ‘Hide notes’ slider, you can opt to make individual notes invisible, which means you’re learning the tune by ear rather than by sight. This offers a potent way to enhance your musical intuition and memory, turning your auditory senses into powerful learning tools.


Last, but not least, remember that while these tools fashioned for your convenience, they’re most effective when used alongside regular practicing. Consistent effort and time spent playing are crucial elements for your progress. Take it slow, step by step, segment by segment, mastering one phrase before moving on to the next. Conclusively, enjoy the process and let your love for music fuel your learning journey.
