It's those parts that make your guitar playing sound like you. That stuff is what makes solos your own and should be embraced IMO. You'll also learn what parts of a solo are crucial, and what parts of a solo you might prefer to play your own way - i.e, replacing some parts with something else or altering some parts so you can play it more easily. If you're doing something wrong, it'll sound like absolute crap and you'll work out all the mistakes on your own. It's just the best way to learn by miles.Īs for playing along to backing tracks, the best way is again for me, the original source. I come up with my own fingerings or play things on the neck wherever I decide it sounds or feels best.
#Guitar pro vs ultimate guitar pro how to#
I prefer to learn by ear because it's more accurate and I work out how to play things my own way.
Everything else - I use Guitar Pro and nail it pretty quickly. Then I move to the Anytune and play with the song directly as I'm working to get up to 100% speed. So I usually start with GP until I memorize all the notes / movements. Sometimes it's easier for me to see the flow of the TAB so I know where my fingers are supposed to go next, etc. I also use Anytune for Mac (was using Amazing Slow Downer for PC) to slow down songs to learn from the songs directly. I bought Guitar Pro outright and have no recurring fees which I prefer. I don't know because I've only used the "non-Pro" version because I try to avoid subscription fees if possible and didn't want to pay a monthly fee to use it. Now Songsterr may do many of those things. In other words, when I'm trying to learn a complicated piece, I can select the part I'm having trouble with, slow it down to 50% or something, and then have it increase 1% or 2% every time it repeats, or every 5 times it repeats, etc. Has easy looper controls with automatic tempo adjustment. It has better digital modeling features to customize amp, guitar, effects settings for playbook. There's thousands of GP files on the web already.
