guitar players 'round here ?

I've been trying to learn Metallica solos since a few years ago off and on. I've got most of Sanitarium down but that second solo is killing me... (just a little above halfway down the page, after the first rest)... I can't even memorize the high notes as fast as Hammett plays it...

Anyone else ? This part sounds so cool - I must learn it... think you can play it ?

^ anybody ever try ?

just got a martin d-15 2 days ago. 😀
but haven't started doing much beyond chords, scales, etc.

IT can be hard to memorize an exact solo as fast as someone like Hammet plays it, especially if you are just memorizing using fret numbers and you don't actually know what notes/scales are being played. If you can understand the scales then you don't really have to memorize a solo b/c you know what notes are more likely to be played (does that make sense?). Otherwise, practice, practice, practice.

Yup, makes sense.... I've gotten a good feel for the scales (only self taught from tabs)

I thought the "14", followed by "16" sounded really weird... usually it's 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, etc...

Depends on what key it's in... Finger tapping?
