There is no denying that learning and transcribing is one of the best ways of learning and progressing with the guitar. But it does take a lot of time, patience and energy, and in the days of vinyl, a lot of wear on your record collection. The main parameters which any tool requires are the ability to loop an area of the track and slow it down, whilst retaining the pitch.There are plenty of tools out there on the market to help you do this, but I have been pointed in the direction of the Amazing slow downer by Ronisoft and it is fantastic! In particular it works on a Tablet or smartphone too. It is really one of the simplest tools in this area that I have found and it works really well. Well worth a look I would say.PeaceNeil
