practice solos. This is a fantastic tool to assist one in the progress of playing with others as well as a great tool to learn songs. I began playing only last Dec. and cannot play some songs at the slow speed on the CD. However, I am able to become familar with the tunes and the proper picking required. Speed can be worked on as I get better. I use both series daily.
