Another free software: YouTube. To stop a video, press the spacebar on your keyboard. To jump back 5 seconds, press the left arrow. To jump forward by 5 seconds, press the right arrow. To resume playback, press the spacebar again. To slow the playback without altering the pitch, click the gear icon to bring up a menu, then click Playback Speed and select 0.75 or 0.5. The 0.25 speed is too slow and choppy to be useful.

Thank you so much !!! You`ve made my life so much easier!
You can also select “Custom” and fine tune the playback speed.
That depends on the device - it’s not available on either my iPad or my iPhone (both older devices).
Which is a pity, because sometimes increments of 25% are too coarse.
Good point, I have only done this on a laptop. I see that it’s not available on my Android phone, either.
You can use an app called “chord ai” for android or iOS. There is a free version and it’s great. You select the YouTube video you want and it figures out the chords (with variable accuracy) for you. The app also has an option to adjust playback speed (pitch corrected) in .1 increments. You can also loop sections. It’s excellent.

I just tried this, and it’s impressive!
In fact, it might be a very good alternative to Justin’s App, if you want to keep playing the songs that were purged. You can even see the lyrics, if you select a lyrics video from YouTube.
I’m late to contributing on these forums but just bought the Rock Songbook that reminded me of Transcribe! software. I switched all my music over to Spotify. Does Transcribe! or any similar software allow importing from Spotify? I’m guessing not without removing DRM which I don’t really want to get into.
When doing grade 3, I was using Reaper DAW for the transcribing lesson because I was already familiar with it for recording my guitar. And prior to that, I also tried Youtube only.
For this course, I decided to give Transcribe! a try. And I was pleasantly surprised, its simplicity and straightforward user interface makes it much convenient and efficient to do transcribing work.
In my opinion, it’s worth buying this software even if you already have something else like Reaper.
As we know, transcribing is not the easiest thing in the world so, at least, it’s a plus if we don’t fight with the software.
