Work on difficult passages A-B Loop Select exactly the passage you want to practice and loop it automatically. No more manually rewinding the video after every repetition. Flash Loop Loop a passage and let FlowTune gradually increase the playback speed after each repetition. Start slowly, then increase the tempo as you improve. Speed Control Slow down a tutorial to break down a difficult passage or speed it up when you're ready to go further. Keep track of your practice FlowTune automatically records your practice time, sessions, and work on each song. Look back at your history over days, months, and years to see the work you've actually put in. Save your passages Save the passages you want to practice again later. When you come back to a song, quickly restore the loops you created before. Practice by ear Hide the video and keep the audio to practice a passage without watching the notes or movements in the tutorial.
