MP3 Version Portable Guitar Trainer

Don’t think that all portable trainers have same function or ability. But also they have some basic function. My target is to inform you about the functions of a portable trainer.

By using a guitar trainer you can slow down or loop down the guitar part of a song or music. Also you’re able to set the tempo. Even you can eliminate guitar parts in order to learn new riffs. Now you would understand the necessity of a guitar trainer.

Portable guitar trainers also have variable speed audition which allows you to slow down the MP3 wthout a change in pitch. You can easily loop the sections in order to practice tricky passages without being noticed. You can easily pitch up or down the songs to match your guitar’s tuning. In this case you’ll not need to set up your tuning for each and every song. These portable trainers also have enough storage to save your preferred songs. So you can easily practice them on your guitar.
