Yeah, I know this thread has been idle for almost two months now, but now I'm really starting to see some improvements. In the first post in this thread, I stated that I wanted to be able to play stuff like Sweet Child O' Mine, and I've been hard at work on it, when I haven't been busy trying to work on my own songs (or trying to get recording software to cooperate...). And now, I've reached a point where I can almost play the intro flawlessly and can play both interludes perfectly. I'm pretty happy about this kind of progress, actually. It might not be much, but it's better than I've ever been. And it has helped me notice something: The last guitar solo in Bohemian Rhapsody (probably the one song that has changed my life the most, since it's the song that made me pick up the guitar!) doesn't seem that "Over-The-Top, outrageously difficult" anymore. The one before the Opera-part still seems a bit challenging, but on the surface, the Hard Rock-guitar solo at the end seems easier than any of the songs I listen to every day... and maybe even easier than one of my own ones... I'll just have to keep at it like this and I'll reach my goals someday! Not today, not tomorrow. Someday!
