I hope this isn't too spammy, I'm not into whoring my videos around, but I figure these are useful enough to others, as opposed to just being 'look at me!' ones, to be not so bad.
When I have spare time (which is rare at the moment), I try to learn solos. I have been learning so many that I was forgetting what I'd just learnt, so I started doing videos of myself playing through them at half speed, and some guys on another forum I post on also found these useful, so I thought maybe some of the metal guys here might find them useful.
These are all figured out by ear, so I don't claim to be 100% correct, but they're pretty close, and on some of them I really went to town trying to get all the correct fingering.
So, enough chutney. Here's what I've got done:
Megadeth - Rust In Peace - every Marty Friedman soloMegadeth - Countdown To Extinction - every Marty Friedman soloDream Theater - Images & Words - every John Petrucci soloDream Theater - Awake - (almost) every John Petrucci soloMisc Liquid Tension Experiment, Megadeth and other solosI've done a few by request, so if anyone wants something done, I'm happy to help if I can. And you can find full speed versions of nearly all of them elsewhere on my channel if you want to see how they sound/work up to speed, or you can increase the YouTube player speed to double speed to see them with hilarious Larry the Lamb vibrato!

I am am looking forward to spending some time with the megadeth solos as I've always found them difficult to visualise/play.
Any luck finding some co-conspirators for your recording project?
Do you post on there? I don't recognise your username.
Sadly, no. I got a couple of initial interests, but I think once they heard what and how I play, they regretted it and disappeared haha.
Shame about th elack of interest - was it because of the metal/prog angle? There are some metalheads on here but it seems to be a minority.

I've no clue because everyone who messages me (not just here) saying they're interested in trying something then disappears and drops out of contact. The universe is trying to tell me something, I think. It's saying 'nobody likes you' haha. Ahh well, I'm not one to sit around feeling sorry for myself, so I'm just getting on with playing.
And I remember. Your username is too similar to Minnemann not to!
