Also, I do agree that even the slowest backing tracks are sometimes too fast for us beginners. You can loop, if you move the diamond shaped sliders just a tiny bit "inwards". That works for both the video and the backing tracks. I discovered that just when I was about to complain about that missing feature. @Kris: Awesome!

Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.

I realize I probably am a lone (or near lone) wolf with this view. what I would have liked is for lessons to have a full length version WITHOUT backing, as O'Toole provided when he was here. i never understood exactly why that has not been provided, it seems obviously useful. Quite often the lesson's slow parts do not really capture the rhythm and nuances of the long video, and trying to capture that through a thick backing track is not always easy.

Couldn't agree more. I think TAB's are a bit simple... sometimes I've a lot of numbers 'cause it's a sweep arpeggio or something... would be nice to have the chord name... also some forget to put BPM, tempo, key and such important info. Any improvement it's always welcome Cheers all! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I agree with the track ideas and to Guitar1969 suggestion. I am working on theory and this may help jump start applications of certain parts, so to speak. Great ideas.....

That is a good idea, haven't thought about that. that would only eliminate the need to keep clicking the play button. most of what I am looking for is a fluid continuation of the backing track. like in Gabriels one lesson You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
