Jer watch out!
here comes the detail (devils disguise):
Theory question and application-> In what key is the Trooper? Try to detect the key and the scale for the first solo part. (Second part is different) So after finding out the key, try to find if is major or minor. And when all that is done, try to apply this on practice: Which notes can be played and which notes are forbidden?
That will help you actually practicing the solo. When you cant remember if at one point you have to press 9th or 10th fret for example, knowing that 9th fret is out of scale, will help you to remember where to put that finger...
Trooper is going well, you are still at some point of getting used to song, and you are making mistakes on easier rhythme parts because they are too easy and you loose concentration. Intro is ok, verses are ok (apart some remembering song traffic issues) but on melodies, you have some little problems try to work on that... And always buddy, when you work with anything, especially solos, try to keep the metronome beat there, as this will have a direct impact on how successiful you put that special part back to the song... For that long and slow bends, to maintain stability, try to use more than one finger...
About AIC Solo, man I fear you might need to drop it to something like %65. Once you play it perfectly without anykind of errors you might speed up a bit play it there like 100 times without error. Like you did, after you stopped you bt. But stopping the bt is not an answer, if you set your bt to a lower tempo this will either guide you, and will help you maintaining that same perfectness when you speed up. For example listen to the take near the end. You tend to slow down with difficulty building up. Well that is not a solution, as you can already play that in that speed that you are dropping to. You should keep your speed constant. If you get faster whole part must be fast, if not whole part must be slower... Try that for tonight, practice AIC Solo with %65-70 kind of speed, you'll see tomorrow you'll be playing it better with %75
All in all, you are doing great, work in progress becoming better. Dont forget Kris' bending exercise, that will help you get your bends better
Cheers mate!
