Hi. I'm new here, and feel a little out of my depth. I taught myself to play around ten years ago, but I'm mostly into indie stuff (my idols: Johnny Marr, Graham Coxon, Bernard Butler) and I can't do much of the quick stuff.

It isn't that my fingers are slow - I seem to be as quick as anyone else i've met it's just that I find that parts of solos where there's a lot of notes, moving up or down a scale, say, hard to work out.

To pick an example (which will seem SO simple to all of you): Bohemian Rhapsody. The solo starts melodic, slow, and there's just a little part that's quicker, with hammer-ons and so on.

Now, I can bull**** my way through it, without people noticing, but it bugs me. I wish I could slow the Cd down, so I could know when the guitarist is changing notes, what rhythm, et cetera.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated. I know this'll sound totally amateurish to you (I've heard some of the sound samples on this site - Jesus!) but, well, there's some of us who haven't heard any Satriani.
