Learning to play guitar solos in slow motion
Learning guitar solos by ear is hard work. I remember many years ago, a friend of mine managed to secure a copy of Ritchie Blackmore's guitar solo to Smoke On the Water slowed down to half space. Suddenly we could hear how clean his runs were and how many notes he was actually playing.
I still love playing that solo note for note because it was the first real guitar solo that I ever learned and the great thing was that it taught me so much about phrasing, light and shade and what notes not to play. And I have to say that without being able to listen to the guitar solo at half pace I would never have attempted to study it the way I did.
Fast forward a quarter of a century or so and learning guitar solos is still a challenging and time consuming process – but technology has zoomed way past whatever reel to reel tape system my friend accessed to get that solo slowed down.
A great piece of software on the market is the recently updated Riffmaster Pro.
