Guitar tablatures for New River Train

Practicing Tips

The 'New River Train' learning resource offers invaluable insight into the world of flatpicking guitar, providing a broad range of tablatures for beginner, intermediate, and advanced styles. This resource distinctly focuses on vocal songs at a medium tempo, rooted in the captivating melodies of folk music and old time convention.

A primary feature of this learning resource is the Tunefox platform's unique tool, the Lick Switcher. This feature allows you to breathe new life into a familiar song by adding a fresh lick vocabulary. You can manipulate the licks for each individual measure, resulting in a plethora of different song variations for exploration. A mere tap on a measure unveils the hidden licks embedded within, facilitating customization of the arrangement to suit your personal style and interpretative approach.

The Arrange slider is another important tool that allows you to alter the difficulty level according to your skill and comfort. By sliding it left, you can simplify the arrangement by eliminating many of the redundant 'fill-in' notes, presenting a basic, core framework on the tablature. Conversely, swiping right reintroduces the extra notes, filling out the arrangement until it becomes a complete version of the song.

Furthermore, the tempo slider provides the opportunity for you to modify the song's speed. When combined with high-quality backing tracks, you can transform your practice sessions into engaging performances. The 'Speed Up' function incrementally increases the tempo as you repeatedly play through the song, enabling you to progressively enhance your speed in an enjoyable and effective manner.

As you embark on this learning journey, remember to start at a comfortable pace before using the 'Speed Up' function to gradually elevate the tempo. Consistent repetition of selected measures will enhance your proficiency and dexterity. Practice makes perfect - keep honing your skills and discovering new ways to interpret and enjoy the 'New River Train'.
