Practicing Tips

St. Anne's Reel is a popular Irish tune. This learning module provides comprehensive tablatures, in styles suitable for Beginners, Intermediates and Advanced guitarists. The tune has a medium-tempo and a unique lilt that is characteristic of traditional Irish music. In the following paragraphs, we'll guide you through some of the key features on the Tunefox platform to make your learning experience enjoyable and effective.

The Lick Switcher is one of the most powerful tools at your disposal on Tunefox. Essentially, it lets you personalize the arrangement by switching out licks. This enables you to see the song in a new light with each subtle change, broadening your 'lick vocabulary' in the process. Just tap on the measure and the hidden licks will reveal themselves. Experiment with different combinations to find your unique style.

The Arrange slider is another intuitive tool on the Tunefox platform. If you're a beginner, slide it to the left to simplify the arrangement and remove some of the fill-in notes. This will give you a clean, core arrangement. If you're a more advanced player, slide it to the right to fill out the extra notes and reveal the full complexity of the song.

Another key feature of this learning resource is the Tempo Slider. This lets you modify the speed of the track, giving you the freedom to practice at a pace that suits you. Practice slowly at first and increase speed when you're comfortable. Repeating selected measures is another useful practice technique.

Don't forget to make use of the 'Speed Up' function. This feature gradually increases the playback tempo, which is excellent for building your speed and confidence over time. Start at a speed that you are comfortable with, and let the 'Speed Up' feature guide you to higher speeds.

Lastly, to make learning more enjoyable, you can use the backing tracks provided. These accompaniment tracks not only make practice feel like a jam session, but also help reinforce your rhythmic skills. Remember, practice makes perfect, so keep strumming until you've mastered St. Anne's Reel.
