Hi Kelsey,
Wow, what a great story. I totally get you and I’ve been there with the exact same solo and that fast part. It was killing me. It feels awesome to break through that wall, and yes it takes practice, a lot of practice. First it’s frustrating, but after a while the practice becomes addictive, and that’s when the change comes. Good for you!

I also recognize the pitfall of only playing what you already know. There’s a point where a guitar player has learned to solo and improvise to a certain extent and unconsciously gets stuck in a rut. A lot of guitar players stay where they are. That’s a pity, because the joy, the improvement and the excitement grows when you study new material.

Thanks for sharing.

I wish you a great new year.
Keep picking!

Best,
Klaus Crow

Hi Klauss, you managed to accomplish alot this year. As a Guitarist, it’s really easy to fall back into old habits, and play the same old things without every really “practicing”. I too share have the goal to learn songs and solos of great guitar players to influence my playing. Specifically, to learn Slash’s guitar run from “Sweet Child O Mine”. (About halfway through the solo.)

I can nail every part of the solo except that 5 second section. A few weeks ago, I said enough already and practiced that run for a few hours. I had a breakthrough and finally nailed that part. It had alluded me for so many years, but I met my goal eventually.
