My attempt to learn the "In My Dreams" solo didn't go as planned, but I will keep at it. In the meantime, I decided to go back and finally learn the solo for "Paranoid". I chose that for several reasons:
1) I like the song, so I'm more likely to stick with it.
2) It's relatively simple, at least compared to "In My Dreams".
3) It gives me a chance to bust out my fuzz pedal.
I've set a goal of learning it by Memorial Day. It probably won't take that long, but I've had some unexpected garbage come up lately so I wanted to keep things realistic but still achievable. I'll be using backing track that came with a copy of GuitarOne a few years back. I think learning solos is basically going to be the only way for me to keep advancing in my playing. The difficulty is coming up with good ones that I want to learn but won't require me to take a million years or grow extra digits.
