So today nursed it up to 185 and have started working with the whole tune. Used the Bugera PS1 to link the Princeton Reverb to the recording box so as not to upset office neighbors!
Also: I have an almost irresistible urge to play something in the middle of those two rest measures, even if just as a joke. Anyone else feel this?

Don't forget to smile.

Except in orchestral work where you can’t look at the music either because you’re meant to be looking at the conductor….

I noticed MM filled the space with some melody.

Gotta play a C7#9!

Some necessary pinky in here, imho.

Mancuso.
I don't think he hates space. He's just a minimalist when it comes to using it

Kinda sorta got it up to 190 bpm, which is a happy start to the week.
-
That's awesome . I'm nowhere near your level. That chord in the gap..what if you hit it twice?

Good progress, 190bpm is nearly 200bpm, wow.
I'm at 130-40bpm.
Does anyone know what bars we are learning this week?

For the curious, I'm using an Epiphone Zephyr Regent Re-Issue (ES165 clone) that has a Seymour Duncan PhatCat pickup. That's a P90 in a humbucker form factor. The amp is a Princeton Reverb Re-issue with a 12" speaker, but the recording is direct using a Bugera PS1 Power Soak. If you're wondering about using something like this on your tube amp, I can say I really like it once I figured out how it actually works. Does a great job capturing the tube amp's tone without breaking the windows out of the building.

I decided to try playing this in some other keys, starting with C. This was fairly easy because I had room to move up my fingerings from Ab.
This is a sloppy 190, but I'm not giving up on this tempo barrier that I seem to have.
Next I will try F which I imagine will be more difficult.
