This costs a lot, but you seem to get a lot too. I've been thinking of springing for one. Hi Kovachian and Doug, I know this may seem a bit off the subject, but I used to use an old Sony Walkman (cassette player) to learn falsetas. It had the advantage of having a speed adjustment, which I modified to give a much greater range. The rubber idlers etc are now totally worn out, so I was looking for an alternative. A couple of years ago my daughter bought a cheap personal mp3 player from Amazon at about £15. It had 250MB so could store lots of songs. However her mobile phone now has an inbuilt mp3 player so she no longer uses it. I played around with it a bit and found that it too had a speed control on it, which still maintained the original pitch, so what I do now is take something I want to learn, adjust the speed and pitch on Amazing Slowdowner and download it to the mp3 player via the USB port. I could do the same with a compás loop or metronome click too. The advantage of wearing light headphones or ear inserts is that you can hear the falseta or click or loop AND hear the guitar at the same time without driving everybody around you mad. My only complaint is that it is PINK!!! cheers, Ron
