Tascam CDGT2 Portable CD Guitar Trainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I REALLY like the functions, plus the fact that it is so simple. All I have to do is throw a CD into this thing. Then I can change the pitch without changing temp. Ever tried to figure out old ACDC tunes? They're all + or - some fraction of a note, right? OK, this fixed it for me.

And of course I can slow the tempo down a lot and then A-B repeat the lead part so I have a chance at it.

The CD sound quality is really not bad. NO, it ain't Hi-Fi. But seriously, what do you expect. Yet for something this size and cost, I was surprised I could plug Line-out to the stereo and it wasn't bad. Just be sure you push your connector all the way in. For the longest time, the connector was not pushed in well, and it sounded crappy. not anymore.

The guitar effects are a bit like the cheesier 80's effects. Don't expect a lot there. But then again, I'm just using this to figure out licks, so that's not a big deal in my case. Most of the time I play the Tascam through stereo, and I play the guitar through a practice amp, so this is not even a problem for me.

Batteries won't last long if you're as slow at figuring out licks as I am. Get you the power transformer; I think it's one of those 5V types.

But again, for not having to convert tracks to some audio format and all that techno-stuff that goes with it, this is just what I was looking for. Just throw the CD in there and get to woodshedding.
