So...after owning Macs for countless years Ifinally opened GarageBand this weekend - and very quickly revoltionized how I practice.

Rather than playing along to - and constantly rewinding - either the videos or backing tracks, I now download a copy of the track, slam it in the DAW and loop it. Am also using it to record my practice (I wouldn't say that I hear MORE when reviewing a recording, but I'm certainly aware of DIFFERENT things when doing so) and gamifying practice (run a loop whilst recording, record multiple takes, aim to get the best take possible). This approach is working great for tutorials with multiple parts (verse, chorus, solos etc) such as Rock L1.

I'm sure I'm not the only person to be doing this, so...any suggests as to how else to use it so as to enable great practce?

Thanks
