Is it very hard, or is it my skill thats the problem here? It's a pretty fast one though.
Anyone?
No matter what your skill level on guitar, any solo is going to be a bit tricky to learn exactly. Why? Because a solo typically reflects a guitarist's unique style, phrasing, nuance, and techniques. However, conquering a solo is fun and rewarding. It is just a matter of breaking it down, bit by bit. Take a particularly tough passage and slow it WAY down. Learn what it is, learn why you like it, what makes it so cool? Then, build an excercise out of that tough phrase: slowly build up the speed on that part, move it around on the fretboard, change the key it is played in, change the mode it is played in. Soon, you will not only find that you can now play that tough part, but now you have a cool shiny new tool in your guitar toolbelt, because now you understand it musically, and mastered it technically.
