There are a lot of MP3 players available in stores and it’s not our job to review them, but this one, the Tascam MP-GT1 is some kind of different MP3 player, this one features a guitar trainer. If you always wanted to play along your favorite albums but with rhythm and vocals only, now you can.

The Tascam MP-GT1 features 1GB capacity (nowhere says if it’s a HD or flash memory) and many tools for “teaching” guitar players. This tools include variable speed audition (to slow down or play faster the songs without changing the pitch), pitch control (to adjust the song to your tuning), looping difficult parts (yes, that part of the solo is hard), guitar cancelling (to play without the original guitar track), built-in multi-effects (like overdrive, distortion, delay, flange and reverb), built-in tuner, oscillator and metronome, 1/4″ guitar input and 1/8” headphone output, rechargeable battery (up to 9 hours working), LCD display and USB port.

The Tascam MP-GT1 is now available in stores and its price is $199. A very useful tool for practicing with your favorite bands.
