# Looping

By setting a loop region, you can use Capo to repeat a section of a song. The loop is a very handy tool when learning music.

For example, you can use loops to repeat difficult passages at a slower speed, and try playing along slowly until you can get through it with no mistakes. Then, speed up the playback and try to keep up. Practicing for accuracy at a slower speed will improve your ability to play cleanly at full speed, no matter what instrument you play.
