Lingot 0.9.1 under linux, because of the spectral view. I love seing the frequency peak sliding in the right direction when I try to bend. It is also easy to spot the tone skip that might happen when the tongue doesn't follow the mouth cavaty. I have tried several others, this one has my preference.

What is yours ?

Ear Training

I have tried the visual aspect of both Cleartune and Harpninja, but what worked best for me was using my ear to match my playing to a prerecorded tone from an online tone generator.  If I want to practice the 3 half and whole step bends, I will use the tone generator to record those particular notes, create about a ten second loop, then repeat it in Amazing Slow Downer and match my playing to those tones.
