Practicing Tips

Stony Point is an advanced level Bluegrass Style flatpicking guitar course. It focuses on keywords such as 'fiddle tune,' 'old-time,' and extensively utilises the unique features of the Tunefox platform.


The Lick Switcher, a key feature on Tunefox, provides a broad spectrum of song variations. It enables you to interchange licks for individual measures, offering new interpretations of the song. Tap on a measure to explore hidden licks. This feature allows for a personalized learning experience, expanding your lick vocabulary.


The Arrange slider is another handy tool for setting your preferred difficulty level. By sliding it to the left, you eliminate many of the 'fill-in' notes, offering a simpler core arrangement. If you swipe the slider to the right, extra notes are added to reveal the full arrangement of the song. The variability of the Arrange slider caters to every player's needs and skill level.


Changing the tempo is also made easy with the tempo slider. Playing along with backing tracks at your selected tempo can be a fun way to hone your guitar skills. You can focus on particular measures and repeat them as frequently as necessary.


The 'Speed Up' function offers a challenge for players looking to improve their speed. It increases the playback tempo gradually as you play through the song. Start at a comfortable speed, and let 'Speed Up' push your boundaries progressively.


Another tip for mastering Stony Point is consistent practice. Find a rhythm that suits your learning pace and be patient with your progress. Remember, the journey towards becoming an advanced player is a marathon, not a sprint.
