Slowing down music without changing pitch

Hi,
I am trying to learn Vivian Campbell's killer solo in Dio's Last in Line. Tab can only get me so far. I want to be able to play it perfectly at very slow speeds and then add 10 bpm whenever I am ready. Is there something that will do that for me? Obviously the pitch needs to be the same at whatever speed I choose.

Looking for a small, light electric for 7 year old

What is a good small electric guitar for a 7-10 year old. My SG is too big and heavy. Does anyone make small, light guitars for kids? Wouldn't want to pay more than $300 for it.

edit: of course I don't want to discourage him with a fret-buzzing POS. (you knew that already).

Hi..starting again after 20 years

Hi everyone,

I am dusting off the SG after a 20 year hiatus. Man, am I glad I found this site. I picked up a Digitech RP250 today to practice with. It's a great piece of equipment. Anyway, nice to be on-board and looking to learn everything I can.

upper back pain when practicing

I get pain in my right shoulderblade when I practice for more than 45 minutes. If you reach back with your left hand and touch the inside of your right shoulderblade, that's where it hurts. Does anyone know any exercises or tips (other than taking frequent breaks...realizing maybe that IS the answer) to help with this? Has anyone else had this problem? I'm playing an SG while sitting in a chair.


Sorry if this is the wrong forum. Wasn't sure if this was "off-topic"
