Hi Andrew, I can't remember where you get the Mapler programmes, but a Google should find it. I'll look again myself when I get home. In essence, it was written for blind people by blind people and is totally accessible. Everything is keystroke based.

This programme enables you to slow music down without changing the pitch, or to change the key without changing the speed, or to change both at once. So: You want to learn to play "Jeux Intertits". You can slow the programme down to hear all of the notes more distinctly, practice at a gentle pace, then when you're confident with it, increase your speed. Or, if you are accompanying your self on a song, and you feel more comfortable playing it in D, but haven't got a capo and the version you're learning is in F, you can easily drop the key. A great programme for musos learning new material...and it's written by V I people so designed to be totally accessible. If you can hear when the note on your guitar is in tune with the note on another instrument, then the pitch pipes are worth considering. I'm going to forward this one on to a V I guitar teacher friend for further info.
