Practicing Tips

Revel in the mesmerizing world of Jazz guitar with our Take 5 learning resource, specially crafted to cater to intermediate players. As you immerse yourself in the world of flatpicking guitar tablature, you'll get familiar with jazz crosspicking and explore bluesy tunes. This learning course emphasizes on key elements like guitar, jazz, crosspicking, and blues.

Retaining the essence of the song while adding your unique touch becomes possible with the innovative 'Lick Switcher' feature of Tunefox. Adding a new lick vocabulary aids in perceiving the same song from various innovative angles. This feature allows the altering of licks for individual measures leading to an exploration of multiple song variations. Tap on a measure to find which licks have been added.

The 'Arrange Slider' is another handy tool on Tunefox, enabling the creation of a personalized difficulty level. Swipe it to the left and the tablature will present a simple, core arrangement as it eliminates the additional notes. For a fuller rendition of the song with all the “fill-in” notes, slide the tool to the right. You control how you want to interpret and learn the song with this customization feature.

Our learning module also includes the Tempo Slider, allowing learners to control the speed of the song. This feature proves highly beneficial in learning the song at a comfortable pace before gradually increasing the speed with practice.

Enhance your learning experience with the 'Speed Up' feature which slightly increases the tempo each time you play the song. Starting at a comfortable speed and then using the 'Speed Up' function to gradually speed up your tempo helps in gaining proficiency over the song. One can also focus on select measures, repeat them, and play along with backing tracks to make learning entertaining.

We encourage you to revise learned sections, take your time to understand challenging parts, and remember, consistency is key to mastering a musical piece. Dedicate a few minutes every day to practice and you'll observe an improvement in skills over time.
