In the old days of tape recorders when trying to learn a tune, I (and many others) would play a bit, hit stop, rewind and play again using the tape recorder buttons. We would probably be holding our instrument in the other hand.
I am suggesting a rewind feature, perhaps operated by holding the left arrow down and stopped as soon as the arrow is released, play would be the right arrow button and a full stop could be the up arrow button. Rewind speed could be in the preferences.
