Practicing Tips

Discover the depths of your banjo playing skills with 'Essential Scruggs Licks'. This invaluable resource provides Scruggs style bluegrass banjo tablatures, specially designed for intermediate banjo players. Key learning areas revolve around Exercises, Scruggs and Licks.


To make the most out of your learning sessions, make sure to make use of the features offered by the Tunefox platform. Among these is the Lick Switcher – your key to unlocking a new perspective in music. By enriching your lick vocabulary and swapping the licks for specific measures, you can explore a multitude of variations and customize the song according to your personal taste. Simply tap the measure to reveal hidden licks.


Equally useful is the Arrange slider. This tool allows you to set your preferred difficulty level with preciseness and simplicity. Swipe left and witness the removal of many fill-in notes, leaving behind a straightforward, core arrangement on the tablature. On the other hand, swiping to the right will reintroduce these notes, leading to a full-fledged musical arrangement.


You can optimize your learning even further by utilizing the tempo slider to modify the song’s speed. Pair this with the use of backing tracks for an entertaining practice session. You could concentrate on specific measures by repeating them multiple times.


The 'Speed Up' feature is a fantastic tool for gradually enhancing speed - starting with a comfortable pace and then incrementally elevating the tempo each time you revisit the song. Remember: Practicing regularly and thoroughly analyzing the song will significantly improve your learning progress.
