Well, with both of those bands, you're going to be getting some extremely fast solos. Both Zakk Wylde and Marty Friedman are incredible players, so I can understand why you might get intimidated. Just try some chromatic speed exercises and warmups before attempting solos like "99 Ways to Die." Go up and down the strings picking every note like this


A|---------1-2-3-4-
E|-1-2-3-4---------

And then 4-3-2-1 on the way down. Then move up to 2-3-4-5 etc. Occasionally change your pattern (ex. 1-4-2-3) to help with coordination.
