Practicing Tips

'Those Memories of You' presents a beautiful canvas for musicians to step into the world of bluegrass mandolin. This piece builds on foundational elements of melody and introduces learners to higher level concepts such as playing in different bluegrass styles and going 'Up-The-Neck.'

As a beginner, don't hesitate to explore the robust features of the Tunefox platform. An invaluable tool, the Lick Switcher, facilitates adding new licks to your repertoire and gives you a fresh perspective on the song. Tapping on individual measures will help you discover diverse variations hidden within the song, allowing you to personalize the arrangement to your liking.

The Arrange slider is another key element to customize your learning path. Sliding to the left simplifies the arrangement by removing the “fill-in” notes, while sliding right unveils the rich complexity of the full song. This ability to adjust difficulty level enables a personalized learning journey.

Tempo is an integral ingredient in the Bluegrass genre. The tempo slider on Tunefox allows you to judiciously control the pace of your practice. Starting slow can help you grapple with tricky measures before cranking up the speed.

Another effective way to practice 'Those Memories of You' is by accompanying backing tracks. Playing along with these tracks not only adds an enjoyable element to your practice but also prepares you for a live jamming session. The 'Speed Up' function is particularly handy in this regard, allowing you to progressively move to high tempo. Remember, it's not a race, start at a pace that you're comfortable with and gradually increase the speed.

Learning a new song requires patience and practice. Keep experimenting with the song, refine your variations, and enjoy the process. Each time you revisit 'Those Memories of You,' you'll discover something new about the music and yourself. Happy strumming!
