I did some practicing, and here is my shot at playing with Mr. B's faster rhythm track. This is pretty much maxed out tempo-wise for my abilities, although I am working on relaxing more in order to be able to play faster tempos.
I know this started out as a fingering/position thread for this tune so I'll tell you some of my thoughts on how I approached that.
I based myself on the 3rd fret Ab major scale position.
I used arpeggio shapes to accommodate the phrases and give me a context for the changes I'm playing over. Just go where the shape is regardless of position or ergonomics.
I played the B dim arp. near the end starting on the A string second fret because I don't like the tone of that first note on the low E string

Excellent stuff Mr B and alpop, this is why the internet was invented. Was the first track at at 140/150 and the second at 180/190? Yes to all
Great fun. More please.

Bars 15-17 make a nice iiVI lick.
Here is the lick transposed to C Major.
Are we moving onto bars 17-20?
They are a repeat of bars 1-4.

How about we take the week for folks to catch up and post their takes of the full first 16?
Next week we can start with 21-24?

Sounds good. I have a busy week as is and my allergies are currently set to "feel like hell."

Here goes!

Oops miscounted. Did 12 instead

I did that at first, but I quickly had too many fish. Now they live together.

Bumping mm 1-16 up to 180. Also, I really enjoy playing this old Aria Pro II PE180, aka "Poor Man's L5ces" or at least, the less-affluent man's L5. Recorded direct from the Fender Tone Master Twin with the Hal Leonard backing track.
I've switched how I finger the last bit. Actually I used to play this at about 210 and lost it, and I've been watching my old clips to remember how I eventually worked out the fingerings. I've gone downhill...

Okay, cool.
My advice would be to play from beginning to end with a consistent pulse. If you have to slow down to do so, that's fine.
Get out the metronome and find the tempo that you can play at without losing the pulse. Do some repetitions until you can lock in, and then increase your tempo from there.
Hope this is helpful!

Good advice. And maybe a quick note — the big danger when you do the really good slow practice is that you can sneak by with inconsistent fingerings in the right hand. Helps a lot to write in the picking, or in this case the right hand fingering. That way it’s consistent all the way up to tempo
Anyone know who made this? goodwill
