Thanks, I enjoy trying to match the guitar tones when recording. Just one of the reasons I love my Proto II.
I'll get the solo eventually Nathan. Thanks

So far, I've 'transcribed' (and that's a pretty generous term,) about 3/4ths of it, to help me accurately play the parts I can. The speedy stuff at the end is just gonna be a high-speed fake.
Ill stick a pic up of what came out of my pencil, headphones and profanity sessions...
Although I actually have a composite degree (Music/business) please don't put any stock in my chicken-scratch tab rhythmic notations. I was trying to just make some notes of how to group the notes somewhat and stick a few downbeats in there. Sadly I'm way too rusty and lazy to try and accurately do such things, so apologies and continued respect to all those who do such things so effortlessly!
Right now, I'm working on trying to get the fluidity going from phrase to phrase, and tempo is slower, but I'm learning a ton already and enjoying it immensely. Ill try and get some audio scraps up at some point, for some feedback.
Love what I'm hearing from everyone so far!!

Ok I've had enough of this solo so I'm posting, could of been better and maybe I'll revisit.
the good
great practice for economy picking and an unusual twist found from the standard three notes per string by mister may.
thought I would record the audio direct and sync in the video which produces a better sound then just straight from the iPhone. I've learnt a lot and want to learn more. Syncing was a bitch and it's still off slightly.
the bad
while researching I found the recording is actually two guitars playing different bits.
thought I had it done until I realised I was 20 bpm below the recording (the posted one is up to speed)
boredom of the solo as I must of played it hundreds of times, however no pain no gain.
ear ache from the family
while practicing over and over again my daughter said she wanted to smash my guitar over my head.
I do feel it has been a worthwhile experience and am sure I have improved as player. Now I'll have a break for a few weeks then I'm on to the next one.
i hope I have done the challenge justice.

Closer on the solo. Gonna take a break from trying to record it. Having another jam session get together with my old bandmates so I've got to starting learning the songs we choose.

Okay, I have a song going and have a family friend recording the drum track now. I'm practicing. Hopefully have something up in a few weeks.
I'm going to take a break from this. We are going to have another reunion jam session with my old band mates. So I have to learn some new songs and make sure I still have the old songs down. So back to the Hamer Cruise Bass for a while. Excited because we are doing one of my other favorite songs from Jethro Tull. Teacher, but this time I'm learning the bass. Fun song. almost have it down.
Going to keep playing the solo and hopefully get smoother over time with it.

I'm going to change my song to Currency by Modern Day Babylon. I've been meaning to learn at least one of this guys' songs. I have backing tracks to all of the songs off of the album Travelers anyway. And I have an 8 string guitar to try out on the track, which is what he plays in the album, so why not learn it right? Plus it's an instrumental band.

Haha, no. It's a probe for sexing snakes. I have so many of those they are just sitting around and I use them for other things as well. I do have syringes for veterinary use. I should have thought to put one in the picture. I have tuberculins all the way up to 20cc.Is that a syringe ?
I know, isn't it?
Okay, made some time tonight to finally put down what i've got.
It's a little slow (as am I,) and since I tend to overthink, only took a few stabs at it after not playing it for a week or two (I think this was take 5.)
2nd Gen Phantom into a Tech21 TriAC. pedal thing (meant to use my Yamaha THR10 I got in the last year, but just used the tech 21 for guitar and the bass out of laziness.) Someday I really want an 8-string, 'cause playing the octaves in that is kind of a pain, lol.
Summary: Again, I had a friggin' blast. I learned a bunch, and am even more amazed when people pull this kind of stuff off so effortlessly. I had to laugh, as I was so concerned about how to handle the fast little run at the end, that I got myself tangled up earlier on, and had a complete WTF? moment as I pulled a fast little riff out of who knows where to finish it off. I'd love to figure out what I did, but it likely won't be repeatable, so oh well. lol!
Fun fun fun. (apologies for the awful drum machine)
