LpTube

LoopTube: Loop YouTube - repeat & slow down video segments. Practice musical phrases, solos on guitar and all instruments.

You can repeat all or any part of a YouTube video by setting start and end points. Once you have set a looping phrase, slow down the speed and repeat the loop to learn and practice. You can then move the looping segment forward by the same time-slice and practice the next part of a song.

Save loops and return to them later, double or half the loop length at the click of a button and share your loops with friends by simply copying the URL and sending it. LoopTube is a great tool for learning music, practicing solos, sampling for beats, dance, language, sports and more.

YouTube Loop for Music Practice

YouTube is the world's biggest library of music tutorials, song covers, and backing tracks. But practicing with YouTube is frustrating — you can't easily loop a specific section or slow it down to match your skill level. LoopTube fixes that.

Set precise start and end points, adjust speed from 0.25x to 2x, and let gradual tempo increase build you up to full speed automatically. Free, no account, works right now.

Find Your Tutorial or Song

Use Smart Search to find guitar lessons, backing tracks, or song tutorials — or paste any YouTube URL directly.

Mark the Hard Section

Press S at the start and E at the end of the section you want to practice. Fine-tune with +/- buttons for frame-perfect precision.

3

Slow It Down

Drop the tempo to 0.25x, 0.5x, or 0.75x. Play along comfortably — hear every note, every rhythm, every nuance.
