Hi Dave,

I wonder if you used a guitar on Ice Cream Man that has a smaller scale length? I ask this because my left hand hurts like hell when I try to get the opening lick for the solo on Ice Cream Man. But the strtch from the 12th fret to the 19th fret is enormous!

Is this solo possible to play for "normal" humans? I can get the stretch, but when moving the lick up to the second string, I fail. And I have a Peavy Wolfgang guitar ...

Any tips would be welcome ;-)
