Guides # Practice guides Each guide answers one practice task, step by step. You can follow them with any guitar and any recording; the screenshots show the steps in Practice Lab, which is free and runs in your browser. - [How to learn a guitar solo by ear](https://practice.graph.audio/guides/learn-a-guitar-solo-by-ear)A solo is a string of short phrases. Learn it one phrase at a time, keep track of which phrases you can already play, and spend your practice on the ones you can't. - [How to slow down a song without changing the pitch](https://practice.graph.audio/guides/slow-down-a-song-without-changing-the-pitch)Playing a recording slower usually makes it sound lower, so you can't play along in tune. A player that keeps the pitch lets you hear every note at the speed you can play, in the key of the record. - [How to loop part of a song until you can play it](https://practice.graph.audio/guides/loop-part-of-a-song-to-practice)The hard part of a song is usually a few seconds long. Repeat just those seconds, slowly at first, until you play them cleanly, then join them back into the song. ## Practice it in Practice Lab Load a recording, mark it, loop it and slow it down.
