I had a decent week, got 2 hours of practice on 4 days and one hour on the other 3. Just working on "Into the Arena."
There's a rhythm part, then the first solo, repeat the rhythm part, then a second solo, then an interlude and finally some arpeggios and the outro solo. I've been spending most of my time on the parts before the interlude, currently getting it up to 80% of full tempo. After the interlude, I've got most of it memorized but haven't really begun working it up to speed yet.
There's a crazy lick in the second solo that starts on the 3rd fret low E and rockets up all the way to the 21st fret on the high E (with a 1 1/2 step bend). That's going to be challenge to get up to 90% tempo, much less full speed lol. I'm not sure I'm playing it right either; the tabs are completely wrong but there's a Japanese guy on YouTube who teaches the song and I think he's got it mostly right, though I'm going to experiment with leaving out some of the slides because it just doesn't sound quite right.
Other than that, "Diary of a Madman" is up to 21,000 views on YouTube! My 5 minutes of fame
Hope you guys all had a good week.
