YouTube also has a built-in option: just click the gear icon in the bottom right and you can select a different playback speed.ĭon’t slow down the music too much though! As a rule of thumb, if you need to slow the tune down to more than 75 percent of the original tempo, it might be a good idea to find a song that’s a bit easier. I use The Amazing Slow Downer or Transcribe! for this, but you can also use VLC Media Player, Audacity or Tune Transcriber which are all free.

Sometimes I thought I’d forgotten a note or chord, but my fretting hand would automatically play the right thing. Instead of ‘memorising frets’, playing became more intuitive. And that’s when I really started to notice my experience of playing guitar change. I’d figure out licks, vocal melodies, bass lines, chord progressions and stuff I heard on tv. My ears improved dramatically when I stopped using tabs, and started to use my ears all the time. I got better at the exercises eventually, but it never seemed to impact my playing. Most of them were focused on recognising things like chord types, scales and intervals. And so, I tried all sorts of apps, books and exercises. I didn’t really know why (tabs seemed to be working fine), but sure, I listened.
