Product Reviews

Trainer
Very helpful tool.
Still learning how to use all the features.
A little muddy sounding when slowing the speed down to -50.
Overall, I love it. Glad I purchased it.
Cuts learning a song down in half.
Recommend purchasing this tool, whether you're a beginner or professional guitar player.
Awesome.

Already outdated
This is a great product with nice features, unfortunately, it's already been updated to the MP3 version, which I also own, and the new model kicks [...]!!! Worth the extra $50 simply for it's ease of use and replacement of songs, the CD model means you have to put the tracks you want to play/practice, onto a CD first. Being a drummer, it allows me to slow down or speed up the tempo of a song to practice what's being played, and there's also a multi-functional metronome on it, with a clear 'click' sound, not a tone or pulse, so you know exactly where the beat is. A good product, but the MP3 version is better.

Tascam Guitar CD trainer
I wish they made things like this when I was a kid, I wouldn't have worn so many records out playing the same passages over and over and over. Eight bars..move the needle back...... It got slightly better with cassettes, but not much. This Tascam Guitar trainer is fantastic, I can slow down fast passages and not only be sure I'm getting the notes right, but I can pick up the little nuances that are so often tips to fingerings, hammer ons, pull offs, etc... And, it stays in the same key! Not only that, if you want to learn it in a different key, you can just set the Guitar trainer to play the song in whatever key you want. You don't have to learn it in one key and then transpose in your head.
