The first approach is a scale shifting exercise, which covers the entirety of the fretboard in the key you're in. The tab demonstrates this in the key of G but you should do this in all 12 keys to fully understand the concept. The second exercise illustrates how to play scales without starting on the root note. This will give you a better understanding of the relationship between scales and keys because you'll be able to visually see where notes differ in different scales.

Practicing Tips

'

The "Jacob Jolliff Scales" provides a comprehensive learning experience for intermediate players looking to hone their skills in Scales-style bluegrass mandolin tablature. By using the features available on the Tunefox platform, learners can significantly enrich their musical vocabulary and understanding.


One of the most crucial features on Tunefox is the Lick Switcher. With it, learners can add and change licks for individual measures, offering a whole new perspective on the same song. These modifications make it possible for you to view an array of variations for the song, customize the arrangement to your preference, and learn fresh ways to interpret the tune. Tap on the individual measures to discover underlying licks.


The Arrange slider is another useful feature, giving you control over the song's difficulty level. If slid to the left, many of the "fill-in" notes will be taken away, leaving a simple, core arrangement in the tablature. Swipe to the right, and the extra notes will fill out the arrangement, revealing the full song.


Changing the song's tempo is easy with the tempo slider. Playing at different paces allows you to challenge your skills while still enjoying the music.


Backtrack accompaniments provide a highly engaging way to practice. Concentrate on specific measures and repeat them while the backing track plays. The Speed Up feature is perfect for gradually increasing the playback tempo, facilitating comfortable progression to higher speeds. Start with a speed that you can manage, and Speed Up will increment the tempo each time you play through the song, pushing you to better your skill.


In conclusion, learning and practicing the "Jacob Jolliff Scales" can be a fun and exciting way to expand your musical capabilities. The unique features of Tunefox will guide you through the learning process, helping you master every aspect of the song.
