An integral feature of the Tunefox platform, the Lick Switcher, provides a dynamic approach to learning. Adding a new lick vocabulary completely transforms your perception of a song, unveiling hitherto unseen variations. A simple tap on the measure reveals a treasure trove of hidden licks, allowing you to experiment and personalise the arrangement to your own preferences.

The Arrange Slider makes it straightforward to adjust the difficulty level of the piece. Swipe to the left and the arrangement simplifies, removing many of the 'fill-in' notes. Conversely, swipe right to add back those additional notes, offering a fuller and comprehensive rendition of the song. The intuitive and responsive nature of the Arrange Slider ensures a customized learning experience for each user.

Adjusting the tempo is made easy with the tempo slider, giving you control over the speed at which you learn. Experiment with different tempos to find the pace that suits your ability and comfort level.

Playing along with backing tracks adds an element of fun to your practice, whilst honing your ear and timing skills. Selected measures can be repeated until you gain confidence. The 'Speed Up' function is most beneficial in refining your tempo, slowly increasing the speed every time you run through the song. Start at a pace that you're at ease with, and then gradually challenge yourself to pick up the tempo.

Remember that practice makes perfect. Stay consistent and persistent with your routines and over time, you'll certainly see significant improvement. Most importantly, enjoy the journey and let the music inspire you.
