Practicing Tips

Learning Overview: 'Little Rock Getaway' is designed to offer intermediate players a deep dive into bluegrass banjo music. Concentrating on Hybrid, Melodic, and Backup styles, this resource focuses on teaching through the use of tablatures, backed by Tunefox's innovative learning platform. Stereotypically steeped in tradition, this bluegrass classic offers a wide range of creative freedom, allowing users to launch into their musical adventure.


Practice Tips: Begin by familiarizing yourself with the 'Lick Switcher' feature on the platform. This feature is fantastic for adding new variations of licks into your playing, which cleverly transform the song into a completely different version. The secret to making this effective is constant exploration and individualization of the song arrangement. By tapping into each measure, find out what licks you've been missing out on!


The 'Arrange slider' is also a handy tool to explore. By sliding it to the left or right, feel free to set the desired difficulty level. Going left simplifies the composition, removing the 'fill-in' notes from your tablature, while swiping to the right gives you a fully loaded song, every note at your disposal!


Another important consideration is the tempo. Use the tempo slider to adjust this to your comfort zone. Remember, it's not a race! Perfect your playing speed first and then gradually increase the tempo. To aid you with this, use the function 'Speed Up', which will incrementally raise the tempo with each round.


Never underestimate the power of backing tracks. Try playing along with these tracks as it can make your practice more enjoyable and fruitful. 'Little Rock Getaway' is best learned by getting your hands dirty, experimenting with the song, and attending jam sessions when ready. Choose some measures and repeat them endlessly until you've got a mastery over them. Remember, it's all about personalizing and enjoying your bluegrass journey!
