Practicing Tips

The 'Lean on Me' Learning Resource guide provides a vivid introduction to the distinctive art of bluegrass banjo music through the soulful R&B classic by Bill Withers. The focus of this guide is on Backup - Root Shape and Backup - 1st Inversion Styles, making it an ideal starting point for beginners on the musical journey. Through this lesson, you will learn and familiarize yourself with key terms like Lean on Me, Soul, R & B, Banjo, Bluegrass, Lesson, Learn, and Scruggs.

As a user of the Tunefox platform, paying attention to its varied features is vital. One such feature is the Lick Switcher. By integrating new lick structures into your repertoire, you can view a piece like 'Lean on Me' in an entirely new light. With the Lick Switcher, you can modify the licks for any section of the song, providing a broad range of musical variations. This customization empowers you to curate your arrangement while also illuminating fresh interpretative possibilities.

Additionally, the Arrange slider helps to tailor the difficulty level to your needs with precision and minimum fuss. Slide it to the left – the tablature will reveal a simple, stripped-down arrangement sans the 'fill-in' notes. Swing it to the right, and watch the tablature flood with supplemental notes, completing the original composition's full arrangement.

Learners will find great use in the tempo slider, a tool that handily adjusts the song's pace. Practice with backing tracks engages you in a most immersive learning experience. Select specific parts of the song and practice them repeatedly for mastery. The highly appreciated 'Speed Up' feature gradually ameliorates the tempo, allowing you to push your speed boundaries progressively. Always start at a pace you find comfortable - 'Speed Up' will increment the speed a little with each run-through.

Adding general tips to your learning and practice routine will only enhance your progress. The key is to stay consistent, take small steps, and remember - practice makes perfect. So, why wait? Tune your banjo and get started on your 'Lean on Me' journey!

Lean on Me lyrics

But if we are wise We know that there's always tomorrow Lean on me When you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on... For it won't be long Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on Please swallow your pride If I have things you need to borrow For no one can fill Those of your needs that you won't let show You just call on me brother when you need a hand We all need somebody to lean on I just might have a problem that you'll understand We all need somebody to lean on Lean on me When you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on... For it won't be long Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on You just call on me brother When you need a hand We all need somebody to lean on I just might have a problem that you'll understand We all need somebody to lean on If there is a load you have to bear That you can't carry I'm right up the road I'll share your load If you just call me Call me If you need a friend (Call me) Call me (call me) If you need a friend (Call me) If you ever need a friend (Call me)
