I have a different approach. I'd put it to rest for some time and play other lessons for a 2-4 weeks, not even looking at this one. This time will allow for you to develop new techniques and get them stuck into your brain and fingers.
I'd never put myself through several weeks like you did, because three weeks of constant failure isn't the way to go If you want to run 100 meters in 10 seconds you first have to start with what you can achive today, say 12 seconds. next goal would be 11,8, then 11,6 etc until you reach your final goal with small steps of energizing positiveness when you reach each new goal Sounds to me achiving Power Metal Soloing Lesson 2 lick #3 for you is equal as going straight for 11,5. So I'd drop it for now, learn a lot of other lessons and get back to this difficult one later on. I'm sure it will be easier after some time have passed IF you have learned other things in the mean time. -------------------- My bands homepage

MickeM is right - doing this exercise over and over again, and doing it not correctly is not the way to go. You should approach the exercise with a lot of detail and patience. Start the sequence with whole notes at 60bpm and work your way gradually up to the desired tempo. DON"T try to push it when you feel it is becoming sloppy. There really isn't much you can do at that moment but leave the practice, and start practicing something else for a change. Then come back later on that one, and when you find yourself you can do it perfectly on let's say 83bpm and can't move to 84 without sounding sloppy, then you should make a 2 days break with this exercise and start building again.
