If You Want to Learn a Lead Guitar solo Slow Down the Guitar Solo
How to Slow Down a Guitar Solo
The FASTEST way, hands down, to become a better guitar soloist is to study and learn the guitar solos of your favorites guitarists. By doing so you
- Learn new guitar phrases, licks and patterns
- You automatically become more technically proficient on the fretboard
- You adopt that guitarists style of playing and will start to sound a little more like him with all your guitar solos in the future.
Problem….
How the heck do you learn a blazing fast guitar solo when it is so fast it is almost a blurr?
Slow Down The Guitar Solo, Slow Down the Music!
There are a couple of software programs you can do this with. I USE to use Blaze Media Pro. It is not designed for this purpose but it works. The main problem with it is that when you slow down the guitar solo with it you also reduce the pitch which sends the music out of tune with your guitar which is a real nightmare if you have locking tremlo system on your guitar.
Then I discovered RiffMaster. RiffMaster Slows down the music but that is just the start of what RiffMaster can do. With RiffMaster you can:
- Slow down the guitar solo to really any speed you want. You can slow down the music just a tiny bit or as much as 1/5 of its original speed. You precisely control how much you slow down the musc with a slider bar.
- You CAN slow down the music pitch with a seperate sider bar. This is useful if you load a song into RiffMaster and it is out of tune with your guitar. Don’t retune your guitar. Re tune the song! Much simpler and quicker
- Use the built in 8 band equilizer to drown out or muffle background music and make the lead guitar sound louder, crisper, and clearer. This is usually done by moving the low bass and high treble sliders down and moving the midrange up. When you find the EQ setting that works most of the time for most guitar solos you can save this setting as a preset for future music you load into RiffMaster.
- Save all or part of the music as a .wav or .mp3 file. This way when you load in a song you want to slow down, slow the music down to the speed you want, adjust the EQ so the lead guitar stands out, you can now save it with your settings intact so when you want to listen later you just double click on the mp3 and your guitar solo is there for you to learn from
- Set a music loop start and end point. (the lead guitar solo you want to slow down the music for) and loop the music at this point. Benefit: say there is a tiny portion of the lead you want to study like say a 2 second part of the lead guitar solo. You loop that portion over and over while you figure it out and play it on your guitar. Once you have figured out the part delete the start and end loop points.
One feature of RiffMaster for slowing down musc that is nice is that RiffMaster is not a memory hog. While running my task manager showed it was using a whopping 30 MB of ram.
Now do not get me wrong. For slowing down music to learn a guitar solo there are a couple of options out there software wise but I personally have now found a program for slowing down music that has all the features and tools that RiffMaster has.
Another options to consider for learning guitar solos is guitar tabs. Guitar tabs are pretty accurate. But I personally find guitar tabs as being extremely tedious and way too left brained for learning guitar solos. It is sort of how Waldo learns a lead guitar solo. You can also listen to another guys interpretation on youtube but I never really felt comfortable with that. It is sort of like getting a story from a friend who told a friend who told a friend sort of thing. I want to get it straight from the guitarist.
Until you decide to download Riffmaster software for slowing down music for yourself you can also visit a pretty cool website for slowing down guitar solos so you can learn them at http://www.slowdownthatleadguitarsolo.com A really long web address but the name says it all. They have several dozen guitar solos slowed down from great guitarists. They have ozzy osbourne (Randy Rhoads), Van Halen, Scorpions, Jimi Hendrix and a bunch of lead guitar solos from bands.
