Tunefox Features:
The Lick Switcher is one of the core features of Tunefox that allows you to add a new vocabulary of licks to your repertoire. With this, you can explore countless variations of each song by simply changing the licks for individual measures. Plus, the Arrange slider tool assists in adjusting difficulty levels - slide left for a simple core arrangement or right to reveal the full tablature arrangement.

Practice Tips:
The Tempo slider is another useful feature; adjust the speed of play in line with your comfort, ensuring incremental learning and avoiding overwhelming yourself. Additionally, try practicing with real-sounding backing tracks to enhance your learning experience. Not only is it fun, but playing along with these tracks also prepares you for live jamming sessions. Repeat selected measures and use the 'Speed Up' feature to gradually increase playback tempo - this way you progressively become accustomed to higher performance speeds.

Remember:
The key to mastering any musical instrument is consistent and deliberate practice. Try to take your time with each song and technique, engaging with it until you feel comfortable. In time and with patience, you will watch yourself progress from a beginner to an intermediate banjo player. Happy learning!
