Practice Tips

Lick Switcher: The Lick Switcher functions as a paramount utility on Tunefox. It expands your musical vocabulary by introducing you to new licks integrated within the song. Its unique feature of enabling lick changes for individual measures exposes you to numerous song variations. These provide flexibility for you to alter the arrangement to your own preference, making the song truly yours.

Arrange Slider: This feature offers you a customizable means to dictate the difficulty level of playing the song. Glide it to the left to simplify the song, eliminating fill-in notes and displaying the core arrangement in the tablature. Dragging it to the right will reintroduce these omitted notes, showing you the full version of the song.

Tempo Slider: To improve your rhythm and pace, you can leverage the Tempo Slider for speed modifications. Ideal for practice sessions, it will help you control and experiment with the song's tempo until you're comfortable with it.

Backing Tracks: Playing along with the true-sounding backing tracks not only introduces you to the interactive mode of learning but also preps you up to collaborate with other musicians. It's recommended you focus on specific measures, repetitively playing them to hone your skills.

Speed Up Function: Starting at a pace you're comfortable with, try employing the 'Speed Up' function on Tunefox. It aids you in improving your tempo by gradually increasing the speed each time you play through the song. It's an effective approach for gradually achieving higher playing speeds.

Ultimately, remember that good techniques are rooted in practice, patience, and experimentation. Enjoy the learning process!
