Practicing Tips

Our learning resource, 'Reuben', provides you with an array of flatpicking guitar tablatures in Simple and Bluegrass Styles aimed towards intermediate players. Discover the essence of bluesy, old-time vibes, master fiddle tunes, and vocal songs within the process. This instrumental-focused resource largely emphasizes grasping and exploring new variations, fostering your uniqueness through personal interpretation of the tune.

One of the pivotal features of the Tunefox platform is the Lick Switcher. Incorporating a new lick vocabulary can inspire you to view the same song through a unique lens. The ability to modify the licks for each measure enables you to explore numerous variations of the song. Personalize your arrangement to your taste, and simultaneously educate yourself about fresh ways to express the tune. Just tap on the measure to discover what licks are concealed there.

Another useful tool is the Arrange slider. This feature provides a quick and precise way to set a customizable difficulty level. Sliding it to the left eliminates many of the "fill-in" notes, displaying a simple, core arrangement on the tablature. On contrast, moving it to the right will reintroduce these extra notes, filling out the arrangement and giving you access to the full song.

Utilize the tempo slider to adjust the speed of the song, making it faster or slower based on your comfort. Playing along with backing tracks can be an enjoyable and beneficial practice. Select specific measures and repeat them. Improving your pace gradually not only hones your skill but also builds your confidence. The 'Speed Up' function facilitates this by incrementally upping the playback tempo. Starting at a comfortable speed and then progressively increasing it can positively impact your learning process.

Remember, practice makes perfect. Dedication and consistency are vital for mastering the art of guitar playing. Don't forget to take breaks and enjoy your journey. Happy learning!
