Practicing Tips

Our specially designed learning resource for 'White House Blues' provides bluegrass mandolin tablatures for all types, from beginners to advanced players. Within these tabs, you'll find a unique blend of vocal song elements, an up-tempo vibe, and a touch of blues to enhance your mandolin skills.


The Tunefox platform enables learners to easily use the practical tools offered. Among these, the Lick Switcher stands out. It introduces fresh variations of licks that allow you to perceive and play the song from different angles. By altering the licks for single measures, you can try out various versions of the song. This method not only facilitates personalizing the music arrangement but also provides new perspectives on interpreting the tune. Simply, tap the measure to unveil hidden licks.


Also, the Arrange Slider is another efficient tool that instantly customizes the difficulty level in a refined manner. When you slide it to the left, the 'fill-in' notes get stripped away, leaving a clear, basic song arrangement on your tablature. Conversely, swiping right will refill all those additional notes, producing the comprehensive version of the song.


Adjusting the tempo with the slider is another recommendation. Playing hence becomes more fun with our backing tracks feature. You can choose which measures to focus on and keep repeating those. The innovative 'Speed Up' function slowly elevates the playback tempo, making it easier for you to adapt to quicker speeds. You begin at a comfortable pace, then 'Speed Up' incrementally boosts the tempo each time you run through the song.


To sum up, practicing with this resource offers you a unique opportunity to discover new licks, learn how to control the tempo, customize the difficulty level, and play along with backing tracks. Remember to practice consistently and remain patient throughout your learning journey. With time, you'll master the beautiful tunes of 'White House Blues'
