Best Methods for Transcribing Guitar Solos?

Post by Satch2 »

Hey everyone, I’m trying to get better at playing solos by transcribing them myself, but I’m a bit stuck on how to go about it. I’ve tried slowing down tracks using software, but it feels tedious, and I’m not sure if it’s the best way to develop my ear. Do you have any strategies or tools that you find really help? Also, how do you balance between writing it out in tab versus standard notation? Any tips would be appreciated!
