I'm Gonna Just Leave This Here...

1. Flirtin' With Disaster's solo is both a lot easier and more difficult than I realized. It still stays within this scale:

E--12--15-------------------------------------------
B----------12--15-----------------------------------
G------------------12--14---------------------------
D--------------------------12--14-------------------
A----------------------------------12--14-----------
E------------------------------------------12--14---

But there are parts like these:
B----15-13-13-12-12------12---------------|
G-12-------------------14----14-12-14-12--|
D--------------------------------------------|
A--------------------------------------------|
E--------------------------------------------|

B-----------------------------|
G----12----------------------|
D-14----14-12-14--12----12-|
A-------------------------14----|
E-----------------------------|

It's all in the same scale, but spread out over the strings. Guitarcardio.com had some exercises that address this, but it's riffs like these that make it much more difficult to learn real guitar.

But you know what? Even playing it slow, it feels good. That's one feeling I can never get from a plastic guitar.

Speaking of which:
