Before Practicing
Before starting a practice
session, play back the entire
song (without canceling any
parts) and listen to it care-
fully. This will give you a
clear idea of how the song
should be played, and will
make your practice sessions
progress more smoothly. If
you want to hear only the
melody part, turn the
[TRACK 2] and [EXTRA
TRACKS] buttons off.
