Main Description

Tascam CD-GT2 Guitar Trainer

The new CD-GT2, is the latest introduction in the portable CD trainer by TASCAM. Like the wildly-popular original CD-GT1 guitar trainer, musicians have the ability to slow down the speed of a CD without changing the pitch - allowing artists, musicians, students, and music teachers to practice, learn and teach fast licks, rhythm parts and solos from their favorite artists.

With its ultra-compact design and new functionality, the new CD trainers from TASCAM are the most user-friendly trainers ever. The new CD-GT2 guitar trainer completes our all-new lineup of trainers for the musician, student, teacher and artist on the go.

The new CD-GT2 guitar trainer features an all new improved ultra compact design, comprehensive LCD display with graphical user interface, Album title/Track title indication by CD-Text, expanded effect banks for user preset, 3 octaves tone oscillator, and TASCAM'S pioneering VSA (Variable Speed Audition, pitch control without affecting key) Feature lets music fans learn up a continuous mix of their favorite songs anywhere they go.

With TASCAM'S legendary ease of use, pioneering features such as integrated pitch and key control, instrument canceller with selectable canceling pan point and selectable frequency range, and seamless integration with CD-DA/CD-R/CD-RW disc playback. Users can now discover the licks their favorite artist really played.

Quite easy to use out of the box, with easy tempo changing and mixing, it does its job fairly nicely for those of us wanting a CD-based trainer. Would have liked to see an easier way of 'extending' a looped phrase, without having to reset both the start and end points (unless I've missed something). Only other niggles are what one might expect from a CD-based system: i.e. a few navigation delays and limited battery life when not using the PSU. Otherwise, seems good value.

After 20 or so years of playing the guitar I recently decided to try my RGT grades. I've started on Grade 5 and the scales, chords and chord sequences are reletively straight forward but I was finding getting to grip with the lead playing difficult without backing tracks. Fortunately, RGT do a series of books and backing tracks specifically designed for this purpose. Unfortunately, what with having three kids and all that, playing amplified in the house at all hours wasn't going to go down so well so I bought a Tascam CDGT2 to try and earn some silent brownie points.
The CDGT2 is a compact unit that doesn't take up much space in an already cluttered house and from taking out of the box to playing along with a backing track took only a few minutes. Being a typical bloke, I ditched the manual and launched straight in. The menus were intuative and simple and with a little messing about I taylored up a nice lead sound and got stuck in.
Using the unit at its most basic level is instantly rewarding and features such as the loop function make practising a particular riff or line very easy. The effects are all useable and sound fine in a kind of processed way - you're not going to be dialing in any vintage Fender Bassman moments but that's not what the unit is intended for. There are plenty of adequate clean and dirty sounds with many variations inbetween and you should be able to program up a favourite three or four without too much bother. My only gripe is the overall volume is on the quite side but at least tinitus shouldn't ever be a problem!
For this reason, the CDGT2 gets a four star review rather than a five.

Tascam CDGT2 Guitar Trainer Riff Learner is also ideal for vocalists and it will play music cds you have recorded yourself, useful if you write your own songs or are in a band.
Very intuitive, easy to use straight out of the box. Various effects make your guitar or mic feel at home whatever you're learning.
As you might gather with all its functions this little unit is a real power guzzler, so invest in an ac adapter and save your batteries for on the fly.
