Practicing Tips

‘Rawhide’ offers to you more than just an understanding of the music; it introduces flatpicking guitar tablatures, focusing on beginner, intermediate and advanced styles. This instrumental piece, set in the key of C, is essentially a mandolin tune. While open to all music enthusiasts, it specifically stands out for its up-tempo nature.


Learning 'Rawhide' becomes an interactive and tailor-made experience because of the innovative features offered by the Tunefox platform. The Lickswitcher tool, for instance, lets you interchange licks in individual measures. This aids in flexible learning and encourages a creative approach to understanding the tune.


A level up from your usual lessons, Tunefox also provides an Arrange slider. This feature has the potential to modify the composition's difficulty and tone to mirror your skill level and music preferences, becoming a unique learning experience that matches your needs.


The platform recognizes the importance of auditory learning. Its 'Hide notes' slider lets you conceal individual notes in a song. This particular feature is excellent for fostering ear training, as it pushes you to learn the song by ear. As a result, it not only strengthens your musical intuition but also sharpens your memory.


When it comes to honing your skills, practice is key. Work on one section of the song at a time, and remember, slow and steady wins the race. Use the 'Loop' tool to repeat a single section multiple times until you become comfortable. As you hone your skills, gradually speed up the tempo. Additionally, spend some time exploring and experimenting with different instrumental sounds to find one that resonates with your unique style.
