If I have a song that I want to learn/play along with, I immediately find the chord sheets for it online and print those out. Then, find a decent tutorial (or two) on YouTube to work out the tough parts. Then find a good acoustic cover to practice and play along with.
Lastly, I get ahold of a digital recording of the song and play it through some studio editing software my son gave me, which will separated it into its individual tracks (doesn’t always work). I can then play along with just drum and bass tracks or just the piano or vocals, etc.
Beats the metronome app on my phone.
