Members pamackie Posted December 4, 2009 Members Share Posted December 4, 2009 the hardest part IMO is the ascending run after the first few bends, you economy pick it like Marty does it makes things a lot easier:wave:Will try later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zac503 Posted December 4, 2009 Members Share Posted December 4, 2009 the hardest part IMO is the ascending run after the first few bends, you economy pick it like Marty does it makes things a lot easier:wave: +1 Marty is a sneaker sweeper. For me, I always gravitated to marty's stuff because my right hand is weaker than my left. The first sweep part IMO is much easier than the final descending lick. I know it's weird because the first one covers a lot of fretboard area, plus it's 3x as long. But, the final one is waaaaaay high up there which for me has always been a tough area to dance around in because I'm used to more room. Also, the switch between the first descending arp and the second one is a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right after the legato lick is where my fingers get all tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I guess it depends on what you are used to playing too, for me that first one felt so weird to play, then I realized that he does those mini sweeps in "3s" and I got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members superflyinmonke Posted December 4, 2009 Members Share Posted December 4, 2009 fP4JJeOyofg Waters kicks ass. I can't believe how many Annihilator albums he wrote on his own. And this contribution, the best of the album by far. Not in one take, but holy {censored}. YePwoCsB_ao&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which part are you referring to as the legato lick? The hammer-on and pull-off section before the big finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pamackie Posted December 4, 2009 Members Share Posted December 4, 2009 Which part are you referring to as the legato lick? The hammer-on and pull-off section before the big finish? The bit right after the ascending arpeggio, probably. That {censored} is mad tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reddt1 Posted December 4, 2009 Members Share Posted December 4, 2009 I've never played a solo note-for-note in a cover band other than the first one in "Comfortably Numb". 99% of people won't notice or care. I just make something up that sounds good and hits the high points. For Symphony, it shouldn't be too hard to get the first bit close, and then improvise the rest.
