Transcribe! Software.
If you’ve ever felt like looping a few bars of a song, slowing it down to an understandable speed without changing the pitch, or even changing the pitch to match your tuning with the click of a button, this is the software for you. No more re-tuning your guitar to wonky old recordings, use the pitch tuner to bring the song to the right key, or even figure out what the tuning is using the built in pitch keyboard.
It comes with a phase reverse button to remove vocals (works on some stereo recordings), and a decent EQ to boost or quieten different instruments and remove noise. You can even do the same thing with videos. There might be better programs, but from my experience this is the simplest and most intuitive one I’ve used for making transcriptions and learning tunes.
