As this seem a topic that many of us have...I just thought I should share the way I do it.
When we start with a new lesson many of us practice with a slower backing track version that comes with the lesson. Unfortunately these slower versions are often NOT available for download which makes recording in our DAW (reaper, cubase...) tricky. Therefore I use an open source software where I can slow down the downloadable backing track (100% speed) to a tempo I want practice at. This version can be imported into my DAW and I can record the lesson for feedback. I know there are many different products available but this is free and does the job very well. http://www.audacityteam.org/ Btw: It's a full DAW product but I have used the slow down so far only.

Yes, I think that most Daws allow this and it's a great tool. I also recommend the software Amazing Slow Downer which can make practice even easier. Explore it!

I use Riffstation to slow down and it works nicely.

But it is not usually the backing tracks that I want to slow down. It is the original video lesson. Sometimes I will request a copy of the audio of the lesson (if needed). I like to slow down the lesson track so that I can play along with it at slower speeds so that I can better analyze the way it was played and play along with it. It works well to nail down the timing and feel of a lick or run , especially if it is played fast. I will do the same thing with songs I am trying to learn if I need to. There is some software called Download Helper that allows you to download a video and convert it to mo3 at the same time. Works in Firefox. Very helpful and less than £10 Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
