Looking for advice on practicing song parts with a metronome vs. a backing track. I had been using the GT song lesssons and would usually practice a part at the 0.75 speed play along. Then practice with a metronome to slowly (up 2 bpm, down 1 bpm, up 2, etc) bring up the speed to the 0.9 play along.

Now I heard about the Transpose plug-in that lets me set the backing track to any speed I want.

So - practice slowly increasing speed with a play along or a metronome?
