        In learning to play bluegrass, remember the frustration, in days gone by, of trying to play it just like the record? At 33 1/3 it never seemed to be in tune with our pitch pipes, and the parts zipped by so fast that you had to wear a hole in the recording trying to get just that one spot….or be possessed with a photographic memory, which most of aren’t. You had to listen to the pointed irritation of parents, sibs &/or spouses at hearing the same 8 count roll Earl does in the chorus of Cripple Creek in the B part behind the fiddle, and then give a stumbling encore with you trying it once again...over & over & over.

    Nothing can eliminate practice, so that part stays. But there’s a great answer to a good part of this, and it’s now available in a little box called the Tascam Portable Vocal Trainer. No more slowing down the record with your instrument in your right hand and your left index on the vinyl or cd... Now, you can take this little device, and cut the tempo IN HALF without it changing pitch. You can then take the tune and increase it’s tempo by degrees till you have down just right. And as in interesting feature, you can actually change the pitch of the CD to match your instrument…WITHOUT CHANGING THE SPEED OF THE CD!

    Here are some other tantalizing gadgets that come with it. You don’t need to fiddle with external boxes for reverb, echo and the like…all the while juggling your instrument in the other hand. It’s got a Voice Changer effect that pitches input up or down an octave and even a voice Canceller that reduces the original vocal so YOU can be the star. It will help you hear the banjo, guitar and dobro better, too! And, it will patiently play the same section of music for you again and again saving your frustration at having to key back to it and earning the boundless gratitude of your significant others, especially when you are using headphones. Speaking of headphones, you will need your own, plus batteries. It does have an optional power pack available at a modest charge.

    The last one of this type I saw was several hundred dollars. We have dropped the price from about 200.00 to $148.95. It’s the very best thing to come out yet for learning banjo, guitar and dobro. Give it a try! Order online at Janet Davis Music - or by phone: 800-933-5362.
