No, it is not a device commonly used in popularmusic.However, this technique is extremely common in other formsofmusic. There are no good reasons to avoid this technique,bandmusicians are still musicians. If a clarinetist canchangetempo in an orchestra, a guitarist can changetempo in asong.
When you play a sound faster, or in other words,you'speed it up', you essentially make its vibrationsmovefaster through the air. In this way, you basicallyincreasethe frequency of the audiowave pattern, whichconsequentlyincreases the pitch of thesound.
