What Software for Slowing Down

[shredmonster]

Friend of mine is a beginner and learning some BB King stuff and wants to slow it down.

I can't remember what software is out there for that. I know there are some decent free programs around.

Best practice
Good and Free.

Window Media Player 10 does a decent job down to 1/2 speed & maintains the pitch pretty well. The Amazing Slow Downer is supposed to work really well & has many more options, but it's shareware:

Wait, BB King shreds?

Perhaps he should work with a few Pentatonic scales and a metronome before jumping into learning someone else's stuff? Once you get familiar with the scales, and can do runs at a comfortable speed, picking out solos is easy. Black Sabbath and early Priest were no longer dark mysteries to me once I learned a couple of Pentatonic scales.

Thanks for the input! Maybe I just need to invest some $ for a good program.

Can you even slow B.B. King stuff down?
