Practicing Tips

Immerse yourself in the world of bluegrass music with New River Train, designed for mandolin learners of all abilities. Unearth a rich set of tablatures for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, with a specific focus on the upbeat, old-time, and vocal styles that make this music genre so loved.

Maximize your learning by using the Tunefox platform’s handy features. The Lick Switcher, a unique feature of Tunefox, lets you add fresh licks and transform every tune. This tool lets you alter licks for single measures, creating endless variations and ensuring you never tire of the song. Try it out – tap the measure to unveil the hidden licks.

The Arrange slider is another innovative mechanism featured on Tunefox. Customize your difficulty level precisely by sliding left to simplify your arrangement – leaving you with a plain, focused tablature. Move it right for a more complex song layout.

The versatile tempo slider is your assistant to change up the rhythm as you progress.

Play against backing tracks for an immersive and enjoyable experience. Take time to rehearse specific measures repeatedly until they’re smooth. Leverage Tunefox's ‘Speed Up’ function to gradually hike up the playback pace – ideal for moving slowly but surely to faster tempos. Always start at a comfortable pace, and trust the 'Speed Up' feature to gently move you to greater speeds each time you run through the song.

The general tip here, as with learning any music, is to be patient and consistent. Keep practicing with dedication and soon you'll be playing New River Train with confidence and finesse. Now, pick up your mandolin and let the fun begin!
