Another good week going in the books. Since I got through the beginning parts, things have become easier for me to tackle. I've noticed that Eddie has used the same techniques throughout the song, but slightly different. Recognizing this and applying what I already know to it make it a ton easier to thoroughly learn what I am playing. At this point, I'm actually excited to learn the new parts of the song when I'm usually nervous that I won't be able to completely get them down. While I wasn't able to devote a ton of time to playing this week, I was still able to make some solid progress on the solo. Last week I had started the section where it's really far up on the fretboard, now I'm quite close to being finished with it. The beginning part of this section was pretty easy, but more difficult to get up to speed as always. Towards the end of this section there's a part that is much like the beginning of the solo- rapid pull offs and hammer ons. If it was on a similar spot on the fretboard as the beginning sections, that'd be relatively simple to get down. But, as you go farther up the fretboard, the frets get smaller. So essentially I'm doing the same thing on frets that are half the size as usual: As you can see in the above picture, the frets get smaller and smaller as you move up, so mobility is severely limited. Alas, I should be able to apply what I already know about stuff like this and pull through that difficult section.
I'm looking forward in the solo, and I'm realizing that everything after the high part on the fretboard is pretty much the concept, which is just rapid picking by the right hand. There is one part I'm worried about though- the tapping section. This is the final section you hear before the song ends. I've heard it's easier to learn than it sounds, but then again I have no experience with tapping whatsoever. So when I get to that part, it sure will be interesting to see how I do.
