It's a lot of work and practice to memorize the solo, but well worth the effort. I'd love to hear you play it sometime!

Keep those fingers flying Jim!!!

I agree with Stratman Dave!

I am probably just below the level required to attempt all these solos !

Question please -

I spent a couple of hours yesterday running through the first two lessons (not anywhere near completing the second one-Verse 1 and 2!!!). I am using Transpose Pro to break down the Verses which helps a lot.

Because of this, is it wise in your opinion to spend so much time to learn the verses in one go or do you think that this should be done over a few days?

Cant wait to be able to play this in full but I can also tell you I've learnt a lot of improvising by making mistakes that I can jam over your backing track with a few of my own riffs!

-Dave
