When working on a study song start with the slowest provided speed on the site (commonly 30% slow). Work on each chorus until you can play the entire song very well at that slower speed, then move to the next speed (commonly 15% slow), and finally full tempo. Once you can play it at full tempo with me, each practice play along with me once and then the jam track once. Do this, back and forth, until you can play the entire song with the jam track.
