I did plenty of learning with LPs too, but often made cassette copies of them, so I could listen to stuff in the car on the way to school, and because it was easier to learn with a cassette player.

IIRC, in Yngwie Malmsteen's first tell-interview, he said he developed his speed because the tape machine at his house played so much faster than the one at his rehearsal space. So, when he got home from band practice, which he recorded, to play along with the tape at home, he'd have to tune up and play faster. Rinse and repeat. His right hand technique is insane and it was already unreal 30 yrs. ago when he was a young buck.
