Practicing Tips

This flatpicking guitar course presents comprehensive tabs for the acclaimed blues and bluegrass song 'Sitting On Top of the World'. Perfectly suited to intermediate level players, the instructions provide an opportunity to explore an up-tempo, bluesy style that skillfully combines instrumental prowess with vocal melody.


The Tunefox platform's Lick Switcher feature is essential in this process as it allows for significant customization. Playing around with new lick vocabulary, constantly switching up the arrangement's licks, will help you to explore fresh ways to interpret the song, leading to a broad range of variations, each one as original and creative as the next.


Moreover, the Arrange slider can easily eliminate excessive 'fill-in' notes for a core arrangement that focuses on the essentials. A simple swipe to the right restores all the extra notes, presenting a fully fleshed out version of the song in the tablature. This toggle function optimizes your learning experience according to your comfort zone and skill level.


The tempo slider allows you to control the playback speed. Adjust it to your comfort level and gradually speed it up, allowing for a progressive shift towards higher speeds. This 'Speed Up' functionality should help you adjust to faster tempos more smoothly, preventing abrupt changes that might throw off your rhythm.


Backing tracks should provide a fun diversion from practice. Playing alongside these tracks and repeating selected measures can enhance your performance and help train your ear. Starting at a comfortable speed, the 'Speed Up' function mildly increases the tempo every time the song is repeated, ensuring a seamless transition to higher speeds.
