Anyone?

seems the answer to both those questions would be "yes" if you cant play it, then it is very hard (at least for you) and if you cant play it then your skill is not to the level to allow you to play it. i guess thats slash playing it, he's no slob when it comes to shreding. just keep working at it, it will eventualy get easier and easier, eventualy you will master it, then you will have stepped up a level.

i'm really new at lead playing myself.. fairly terrible at it, but i was workin at a solo the other day and when i started i could hardly get a couple notes in without stumbling, but after a bit i was playing thru the whole thing at about half tempo and now i'm just trying ot get it up to speed. but when i get frustrated, i just go back to a earlier recording of when i first started it.

some times its good to think about about how far you've come, and not how far you have to go.

you have any software or tools that will allow you to slow a track down without changing the pitch? i've found that helps me out a lot.
