Reply With QuoteHey cool Matt! I like records of progress, and that is a solo I cannot do at all. I enjoy reading about, and hearing your progress. Keep it coming please!

OK, here's my first shot at recording the first half of the solo at 100 bps. One warning: it sounds like crap. I make numerous mistakes. It's more of a "record of progress" rather than a "look what I can do!" kind of thing. This much is clear: you might think that you can play something well until you record it. Recordings don't lie.
Anyway, here it is. The original is panned left. My hackery is panned right.
Normally I also would've taken some time to get my tone to sound better. However, I ran into a problem with Audacity and spent the better part of the late afternoon and evening trying to come up with a solution. Turns out I just had to increase my buffer size. Sigh. By the time I actually got to record, I was sick of the whole process. My fingers--which were once well warmed-up--had cooled off. Also, my pitch-correction on the original recording is not perfect so I'm in A440 but George isn't quiteThat also threw off some of my bends.
OK, is that enough caveats?
Anyway, it sounds like crap but there you go. At least it sounds like something, which was more than I could accomplish a week or so ago.

cool , sounds like your getting some of the pinch harmonics down.
I may have to hit you up for some recording/audacity tips down the road
everytime I try to record to a backing the latency kills it.
it can't be ram ,I've got 4gb installed.
my studio is a self contained DAW and really nice, but I cant get recording to work on my computer for uploading tracks...
I'll start annother thread when I get my pandora up and running

Well, the good news is that I only missed one day of practice so far and even then I did play something. The bad news is that that last lick is proving to be a doozy. I've got the notes in the right order, but getting them up to the right speed and cadence is proving to be daunting. The practice is definitely improving my speed and accuracy, the issue is that I need a lot more of both.

The day of rockening is near and I'm still having a devil of a time getting that last fast descending lick up to speed.

Marnold that sounds great so far. I was listening to it in my office where I only have the monitor speakers and it was hard to distinguish original from Master Marnold's version.
I find it great that you come back to inform us about the progress.
Maybe this is going to be the precedence thread for "how I keep up patience to learn a solo over a time period of longer than 20 minutes"!
And now practice the 2nd half and let us hear...
