Learning Tips

Make the most out of Tunefox's innovative platform to facilitate your learning process. The 'Lick Switcher' feature is an essential tool to get familiar with. As you play around with the feature, you will add new licks to your vocabulary and gain a unique perspective on the song. The ability to alter the licks for individual measures gives you the freedom to experiment with various song variations, consequently adding a personal touch to your arrangement.

Remember, the 'Arrange slider' is your aid in customizing the difficulty level. As you slide it towards the left, the tune simplifies by eliminating many "fill-in" notes, leaving you with a basic arrangement. Dragging it to the right will gradually add those notes back in, presenting you with the full, richer arrangement of the song.

Another fantastic aid in mastering 'The Old Spinning Wheel' is the 'Tempo Slider.' Utilize this tool to comfortably alter the song's tempo during your practice sessions.

Practise with Purpose

Make your practice sessions more stimulating and effective by playing along with backing tracks. The key to mastering bluegrass lies in constantly playing and experimenting with the music. Use the real-sounding backing tracks on Tunefox to help you prep for your upcoming jam session.

Highlight specific measures and play them repeatedly to drill them into your muscle memory. The 'Speed Up' function is a brilliant way to gradually move to higher speeds. Start at a manageable pace, then let 'Speed Up' incrementally increase the tempo each time you play.

Remember, successful practice requires patience, consistency, and dedication. Enjoy the learning process and let your passion for Bluegrass music guide your journey through 'The Old Spinning Wheel.'
