Can’t rehearse at home? Rehearse in the car, on the train, in the bus, or on a plane! Identify sections of the music you want to learn, like a guitar solo or some tricky phrase, then create a looping pattern that you can play over and over again. Slow down the loops you create in order to memorize them easier! Create a whole series of loops for a given song in your music library, and become familiar with an entire piece before your plane lands! Features: - Create loops from any song in your music library by identifying the start and end loop points for any section of the song: a guitar solo, a fast-paced rap verse, a drum fill, and so on. - Listen to that loop section 10 billion times until you have it memorized. - Change the playback speed of your loops. Slow it down without changing the pitch of the song in order to hear each note more clearly!
