But it's important to get the whole thing, especially the one tricky place that trips you up.
With this tune, it almost seemed too slow.
And most importantly, when you begin to improvise and go beyond this one break, you need to know the chords so you can build from there. The chords are a big part, especially with a Monroe tune. Even more importantly, when you learn a tune like this, you are not just learning the melody, you are learning the whole thing. With a tune such as "Southern Flavor," you are going to have to teach the chords to most people you play with-it's not one that everybody knows. I have made the mistake of concentrating so much on the melody that I couldn't show the chords to somebody else so we can play it together. It's really important not to skip this! Most elementally, you will eventually be playing chords on this, so you need to know them. Do that until you really know the chords. Rather than start playing the tune, play the chords along with the tune. But even if you are, you want to get this version in your head firmly. (Go ahead and set it on repeat-you're going to be playing this thing over and over!) Especially good if it is a tune you are not familiar with. Listen to the tune a few times, looking at the music/tab and chords. These are a few things I've discovered about using the program-I bet other people have some good ideas too! I wanted to talk a bit about some ways to use TablEdit (or whatever program or method) to learn a tune.
