    16ths

    LOL, scales hell! I will have to play it sitting down, some of those stretches are way too much. Looks fun though.

    I'd love to be able to play stuff like that, but I've never had the patience.
    That's more my kind of lick. 8ths :p

    Shred? Well, that's fine...

    *picks up his Tele*
    But country's where it's at :cool:

    This solo's got some great bends in, including several behind the nut... no problem with 0.010s or under, tricky with anything heavier.

    Bring on Jerry Donahue!

    You crazy shredders and your axe slinging skills ;)

    I'll give that lick a wee shot later and tell you how I get on. I prefer to improvise anything with speed, because I move faster and I don't have the patience to sit down and learn it :p

    Thanks for your solo, but can we keep the thread for shred licks only.

    Heh.. that's what I was trying to stop :)

    Given that it was 'Guitar licks' and not 'shred licks' I thought there ought to be a few rarer styles there too.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. Want me to edit it out (or cut it down a bit?)

    I'll have to go home and listen to some Vinnie Vincent Invasion and see if I can pick out some shredding to post. :D

    What do you call it anyway? When you listen to something and then figure out how to play it.

    I'm still trying to learn sweeps. I'll probably get there in 20 years.

    Tabbing, or transcribing if you want to be posh.

    Er - wouldn't tabbing something be ... writing out the tab? :p Listening to something and figuring out how to play it is 'playing by ear', no?

    Well he did say he was going to post it... that probably means he'll be writing it down :p

    Playing by ear or transcribing's probably closer to what Sticker meant though.
