Practice Tips: Utilize the Lick Switcher

An essential feature on Tunefox is the Lick Switcher. It's designed to help you inhabit the essence of a song and see it from new perspectives. This feature allows you to swap out licks for individual measures, unveiling a spectrum of variations for the song. This innovative tool will not only enable you to tailor the overall arrangement according to your preference but also introduce you to unconventional interpretations of this bluegrass piece. To unlock this exciting tool, simply tap on the measure to discover hidden licks!

Practice Tips: Customize with the Arrange Slider

Enter an experiential world of music with the Arrange Slider. This feature allows you to set a custom difficulty level with its simple yet effective design. By nudging the slider to the left, most of the fill-in notes will be removed, unveiling a basic arrangement in the tablature. Conversely, a rightward swipe will reintroduce these notes, recreating the full song in its true essence.

Practice Tips: Play Along Using Tempo Slider and Backing Tracks

Adding a lively dimension to your practice, the tempo slider lets you adjust the pace of the song. Combined with our enthralling backing tracks, this feature ensures a truly immersive learning experience. This is your chance to play and experiment with the vibrant elements of bluegrass mandolin music. Engage with our realistic backing tracks to mimic the aura of a live jam. Revisit selected measures to reinforce your learning, and watch your tempo improve with the 'Speed Up' function. Start at a comfort speed and let 'Speed Up' gently bump up the pace with each successive round of play.
