Yes the tempo is moderately slow. And yes your suggestions have helped me get more comfortable soloing over this section especially the way you explained setting up for the next chord, I wasn't thinking that way and it has made a big difference.
Many Thanks to all!

And by the way! I posted this same thread in 6 different guitar forums and I without a doubt recieved the best input by far here at GuitarTricks.com!!
I'll be back!
