One of the main features of the Tunefox platform, the Lick Switcher, plays a key role in your learning journey. This feature allows you to add a new lick vocabulary, helping you see the same song from different perspectives and opening up a world of variations. By changing the licks for individual measures, you can not only personalize the arrangement per your liking but also explore fresh ways to interpret the tune. Simply tap on any measure to discover the hidden licks.

The Arrange slider is another useful tool, allowing you to set the difficulty level with supreme accuracy. Sliding it to the left eliminates many 'fill-in' notes, resulting in a straightforward, core arrangement. Sliding it to the right, however, brings back all the fill-in notes, unveiling the full song arrangement for you.

Using the tempo slider to adjust the tempo is another useful tip when learning this song. Playing along with backing tracks can also add a fun element to your practice sessions. Select a few measures to focus on and repeat them.

The 'Speed Up' function, which gradually increases the playback tempo, is particularly useful for gradually working towards playing at higher speeds. Start at a speed that you're comfortable with, and let the 'Speed Up' feature increase the tempo slightly each time you play through the song.

In general, remember that continuous practice, patience, and a structured approach are the key to mastering any instrument or piece of music. Taking small steps, focusing on one part at a time, and gradually increasing the speed will help make your learning experience more enjoyable and efficient.
