Tuning
aDADE
This is an absolutely glorious tune that was requested by a Tunefox user. The artist that composed this tune (Craig Korth) uses a very unique tuning, and combines Scruggs, Melodic, and Single String technique. The tuning uses here is aDADE. Your 5th string is spiked at the 7th fret, G string tuned up to A, B string tuned up to D, and unwound D string tuned up to E. It's a lot of tension, so be careful if you haven't changed strings in a while!

If you select the "Tools" option in the bottom bar you’ll see "Hide Notes", "Memory Train", and "Speed Up" features. Hide notes will help you train your ears by hiding some of the notes on the page for you to figure out as opposed to looking at the tab. "Memory Train" will help you retain the melody of the song by gradually hiding notes so you can rely on your ears more for memorization. Finally, the "Speed Up" tool will automatically increase the playback speed each time a measure or the song loops.
