I don’t use it myself, but I know a number of people who seem happy with an app called “Amazing Slow Downer”. Maybe worth checking it out - I think there will be demo videos on YT?

Yeah I looked at that one but it was expensive. So far still trying to do it the old way by ear
If what you are listening to is a youtube video, did you know that youtube has a built in slowdowner (but availabilty varies between systems)? If you see a ‘cog’ (for settings) at the bottom of the video, see if it has a playbackspeed option?
If not & you are on your phone see it’s browser offers a ‘Desktop’ view of the page - you might find there is a playbackspeed option in the settings for that.
Sorry if that sounds complicated. I don’t have any Apple kit so I can’t just describe exactly what you’ll see.

I didn’t actually know that, I’ve checked and there is a YouTube version I’ll see if I can get that to work thanks

Excellent. 
Another thing I find that setting good for is speeding up ‘talk’ videos. Often when people are just talking about or explaining stuff there is so much ‘umming’ & ‘arring’ going on that I find it possible to still understand what they are saying just as well at 1.5 or even 1.75 speed. If I feel I’ve not unerstood a bit, I can easily stop, reduce to normal speed, then step back a few seconds to re-listen.

This is the actual track I’m learning off, it does slow it down a bit but if you really slow it down you lose all the tone. That being said I used it yesterday and I found it clearer to understand, there’s still one but I can’t do fast, so I’m concentrating on that but and trying to get it up to speed, but wow! When you do it like this, you really begin to appreciate the skill of the player, I was at just one little riff of the first solo after the first verse for over an hour, I managed to get the riffs but it’s really slow. Can’t get it up to speed yet, it sounds simple that’s the beauty, it’s simple but really hard to play at speed. Once I’d got it slow. I left it and practiced Chromonica for a good hour, I’m really starting to fall in love with the chromatic now.
