I've been working on this take for a long time, probably since just after I started at GMC. Notice that I did the faster part with legato instead of picking every note. For my ability, I had to do it this way, but at least that part of the song lends itself to legato pretty well. Instead of double picking the open G string I finished each part of the lick with a hammer on note. It sounds good this way even though I would have rather used AP here, but just can't seem to push my AP speed limit even to this sort of medium speed. As for the rest of the song, I think the best part of learning this was that it plays all over the fretboard and really gets you used to moving around.
My main criticism of my playing here is that it sounds a little bit rushed to me. Especially in the beginning where it's supposed to be "heavy sounding" with notes on the downbeat. Tell me if you agree or not with my assesment here, does it indeed sound rushed? Anyway, all in all, it turned out pretty good I think. I'm pleased with it for the most part. Looking forward to your comments...
