Yeah, I intend to put that week to good use. If I have the time to practice my guitar parts, even for a few minutes only, I might as well do just that. I'm getting closer to having Highway Star and Red Hot And Heavy down. I personally consider Red Hot And Heavy to be my biggest achievement on guitar in a very long time, since there are no tabs for it that I can use to learn it. All I have is my ears for that song. It's actually pretty fun to learn it by ear, even if I'm not gonna learn the solo just yet. I'm starting with the riffs, then everything else.

On another note, I found out today that my ES actually handles the SG's domain pretty well... Why the hell am I considering it a secondary guitar? It's amazing in almost every aspect! Great tone, love the Varitone system, great intonation, more comfortable neck and body-positioning than my LP... The Bigsby vibrato annoys me a little, since I generally don't use vibrato bars very much, but not enough to make up for the awesomeness... I should use it more often, really...
