Tascam MPGT1 Portable MP3 Guitar Trainer

The TASCAM MP-GT1 Portable MP3 Guitar Trainer combines an MP3 player and a guitar trainer in a palm-sized enclosure. Lightweight, easy to use, and packed with useful features, the MP-GT1 lets you take 240 MP3's of guitar practice anywhere you can take your guitar. Both speed and pitch are independently variable, so you can not only slow down and loop MP3 passages in order to learn them; you can also adjust the pitch of the MP3 to match your tuning, so you don't have to tune up for every song. Another valuable feature is the guitar cancel mode, which removes the guitar part and lets you play along. And you won't have to lug your effects chain around with you, either--the MP-GT1 is fully equipped with overdrive, reverb, flanger, and other essential effects. The lithium-ion battery that powers the MP-GT1 has a life of about 9 hours, so running out of juice mid-practice is not an issue. The direct USB connection allows you to charge the battery while you load up new tunes to play
