Chris, yeah I meant if you were playing it classical-fingerpicking style or with a pick. I always played it with distortion and a lot of palm muting.
I learned the first couple pages that repeat, but when I got into the other stuff it just got too weird. It started into these diminished scales, and I just couldn't stand it.
That's how it goes with most of the Caprices. They start out really well, with a cool melody, and then they descend into a diminished cacophony after a few pages.
