Are we really going to do such fast soloing over such a slow, emotional kinda backing track ? I use a metronome at different tempos and that backing track. The idea is that you play it over the metronome with me, I start with slow note values, and then increase the speed. If the speed is too high you can keep playing at the slower tempo. -------------------- Visit my Personal Board

I love that Slash style backing track. Can I use it for a face-off? That is, challenge some friends to a solo face off using it? I'll give you full credit for the backing!?
