I remember hearing an interview of Jerry Garcia, where he said he learned banjo finger rolls by playing Earl Scruggs LPs at the 16 rpm setting, which is about half actual speed and an octave lower.

We used to have an old dude in the neighborhood who played the banjo. But he didn’t play nothing like that!
