This medium-tempo swing music piece is completely instrumental, inviting you to immerse yourself fully in the instruments and their interactions. Make use of the interactive features of the Tunefox platform to master this complex but rewarding tune.

Practice Tip 1: The Lick Switcher is a unique feature of Tunefox which can greatly contribute to your practice sessions. This invaluable function allows you to add new lick vocabulary to your collection, presenting the same song in various perspectives. Customize the tune by changing the licks for individual measures. Tap a measure to reveal hidden licks waiting to be discovered and infused into your rendition.

Practice Tip 2: The Arrange slider is a highly effective instrument for customizing the difficulty level of the song. A slide to the left simplifies the arrangement by eliminating many of the “fill-in” notes. The tablature then shows a simple, core arrangement. If you prefer a bit more challenge, slide to the right. The 'fill-in' notes then reveal the song in all its complexity. Your control over the song's arrangement lies literally at your fingertips.
