In language learning there is a trick called 'backchaining' for pronouncing difficult words or sentences in a foreign language - for example French sentences where there is so much ellision and liason of words that the whole thing sounds like one word to the English ear - essentially you start at the last syllable a build up the word or sentence backwards syllable by syllable.
Anyway, I tried this technique today with a solo I was learning that I couldn't get the hang of - it was a slightly swung triplet beat and I played the last triplet then the last two triplets, etc. Have to say it worked for me, I picked things up I never noticed before much quicker than usual.
Anybody else have any such tips or shortcuts?

rip it in to audacity and slow it down or loop it :)

I learnt by using guitar pro. That's the 'Ultimate' tool for learning a song. It also helps you gain sense of rhythm. But please also try and work on your ear training too, lol.

I've got a Tascam guitar trainer and you can slow it down

I slow things down with AmazingSlowDowner, but it still takes me ages. Interesting tip on trying it all backwards....I might try that for the lyrics of Mr Jones, which are proving tricky to remember!
