yea, what superhuman said. hah.


if it is really as technical as you're describing, it sounds like you need to know the material a bit better. i do the same thing...i challenge myself to record these great riffs in a short amount of time and i end up putting down something sub-par. i'm STILL recording "far beyond the sun" by yngwie malmsteen and by the time i got halfway through the song, i re-recorded everything i already did previously because i was just more comfortable playing the riffs.

this probably doesn't help but me thinks you should know the material like the back of your hand by the time you want to record your takes. what about doing a rough version of the song, but just swapping out new lead tracks in a few weeks when your fingers are more confident?
