Bob, if you have a computer, you can put an mp3 of a song in windows media player and slow it down and it stays in same key.. A tape player would be in a different key if you slowed it down.. Hope this helps , Henry

If you have BIAB, you can change tempo and keys to get it where you want it. Of course, you have to have a BIAB program. I have 2008.5, and I use it all the time. L.B.

I use a Tascam CD-GT2 Portable CD Guitar Trainer

Click Here

You pop in a cd, plug in your guitar and some headphones and play along. You can slow down or speed up the song, without changing the key. You can also change the key, without speeding up or slowing down the song.

Another nice feature is, you can loop a section of the song, so it plays over and over.

+1 on the Tascam Guitar Trainer.A really handy learning tool.I think they have a variant that plays mp3's,if you prefer those to CD's.

The only time my Guitar Trainer didn't work for me was when I tried to learn a Randall Currie solo(I think it was "I'll Take You Back").Couldn't slow it down enough. Laughing

I second the vote for The Amazing SlowDowner.
Best thing since sliced bread for this type of thing.
Demo version is a free download, and the full-on upgrade is 50 bucks.

Lee, on the CD-GT2, do you know if it has an output jack, so you could record or download to computer?

Amazing SlowDowner for me too. BIAB is only good if you are programming in the chords for the song yourself and not trying to cop licks off a CD, Mp3, etc. (and I do that sometimes too).
