Practicing Tips

'Blue Night' is a renowned Bluegrass style learning resource specifically designed for intermediate flatpicking guitar players. The course accentuates prominent Bluegrass artists Bill Monroe, Hot Rize, and Ricky Skaggs while evoking a bluesy style, delivering a comprehensive guide through the musicality of this unique genre.


One of the key features of this course is the innovative Tunefox platform, which boasts a variety of tools to engage learners in flexible and creative ways of learning. Particularly instrumental is the Lickswitcher tool. Here, aspiring flatpickers can interchange specific licks in individual measures, thereby fostering a freer, more creative approach to practice.


The Arrange slider is another impressive feature of the Tunefox platform. With this utility, learners can modify the song's difficulty and tone to align with their skill level and musical preferences. Consequently, users have agency over their learning experience, creating an environment that can grow alongside their skills.


For those who learn best via auditory cues, the 'Hide notes' slider is an invaluable tool. This feature permits the concealment of individual notes to encourage learning the tune by ear. The result is a bolstering of one's ear training, thereby enhancing their musical intuition and recall abilities. This allows learners to perform better and more confidently without the assistance of notation.


Lastly, to make the most of learning 'Blue Night,' some general tips have been provided. These guidelines foster effective practice routines and suggest beneficial habits such as a regular practice schedule, starting slow before gradually increasing tempo, and using a metronome to maintain rhythm. Practicing with the proper form is also emphasized to ensure comfort and prevent strain during long practice sessions.


Blue Night lyrics

Blue night, got you on my mind Blue night, can't keep from cryin' Well you found someone that was new And you quit someone that you knew was true Blue night, got you on my mind Blue night, blue as I can be I don't know whats become of me Where we used to walk, I walk alone With an aching heart 'cause my love is gone Blue night, blue as I can be Blue night, I'm all alone I used to call you on the telephone Well I used to call and it made you glad Now I call and it makes you mad Blue night, I'm all alone Blue night, all by myself Since you put me back on the shelf But there's one thing you should know You're gonna reap just what you sow Blue night, all by myself
