Practice Tips - Utilizing Tunefox Lick Switcher
The Lick Switcher is a key feature of Tunefox. It enables you to add new licks to your repertory, offering newfound views of the same song. Changing the licks for individual measures opens up an array of variations for the song. Tap on the measure to reveal hidden licks and tailor the song to your preference.

Mastering the Arrange Slider
The Arrange slider is another useful tool on Tunefox. Sliding it to the left will remove superfluous “fill-in” notes, revealing a simplified, core arrangement in the tablature. However, sliding it to the right will retain these additional notes, completing the full song arrangement.

Effective Use of Tempo Slider and Backing Tracks
Consider using the tempo slider to adjust the song's speed to a pace that meets your comfort level. The thrill of bluegrass music is playing the tunes; hence, practising with real-sounding backing tracks can enhance your learning experience. Concentrate on selected measures and practice them repeatedly. The 'Speed Up' function is designed to gradually increase the playback tempo, perfect for steadily moving towards faster speeds.
