Make the most of Tunefox's unique Lick Switcher feature. This innovative tool gives you an opportunity not only to familiarize with a song but also to discover new music possibilities within it. You can click on a specific measure to view the alternative licks for that phrase, allowing you to see an array of variations for a single song. This feature helps you customize the song and learn innovative interpretations.

Take advantage of the Arrange slider for setting your suitable difficulty level. Moving the slider to the left will streamline the arrangement, leaving only the core notes visible. If you slide it to the right, you can see the full, complex arrangement with all the supplementary notes included. This flexibility helps match the material to your skill level, making learning more efficient and enjoyable.

Utilize the tempo slider to adapt the song to your comfort level. Playing along with backing tracks at different tempos can enhance your rhythm sense and timing. You can repeat specific measures at your own pace. Use the 'Speed Up' function to gently increase the pace each time you play through the tune. This allows you to gradually build up your speed without feeling overwhelmed.

Consistent practice and patience are key to mastering 'Walls of Time'. Play along with the song, experiment with the licks, change the tempo, and most importantly, have fun with your learning journey.
