  • Nice

  • You nailed the solo. Good control! You should take some time to do more guitar playing if thats what you want, and not make excuses that you have other things to do. Point is: You DO want to play guitar, then decide that you will manage to make time for guitar playing cuz you are really good.

  • good job man. i keep messing up on the fast part (my hands feel so cramped and tight playing that) and i keep messing up on it. But you played it great.

  • I love this song!This is my favourite within Dream Theater songs!I'm not much into Prog metal.But this one is awesome.

    You did it very well!

  • you had some minimum errors on the solo structure, but still your overall skill is very good, keep working on those vibratos and bends, they have a little lack of presence, but youre pretty good. try to make a more consistent playing, cause sometimes it feels non acurate, especially when it comes to alternate picking. Stay hard and keep uploading your work, contratulations.

  • Hi, thanks for the constructive comment! I appreciate it!

  • @killersquirrell yes stay hard. that is key

  • perfect solo i think, it's a shame that you quit :(

    you don't lack of skill, you are very good, 5 stars, see ya!

  • Awesome! sad to hear you quit playing.

  • hi! you're great! :) this is one of my favorite guitar solos of dream theater. :)

  • This is one of my fav songs of dream theater :P

  • me too! :)

    mr. botman, can I ask a little favor? :)

    can you also play the solo part of dream theater's take away my pain? please! please! :)

  • I haven't been playing for a month because I quit the guitar but I'll see if that solo part is anywhere beyond my current skills and try to learn and record it.

  • thank you mr. botman for responding. :)

    wait! you decided to quit playing? why?

  • Hi, sorry it takes such a long time but I'm running out of it these days...

    I quit playing because I don't have a band (talked to 9 people and none wanted to play basicly) + I'm lame. Didn't achieve what I wanted to achieve in guitar after 4 years. A friend of mine achieved awesome technique after 2.5 years. I'm half of him or less at 4 years of play so I guess I lack the talent + you gotta maintain your skills. I lack time to practice during summer (lots of work).

  • i believe you have a great and extraordinary talent mr. botman. you just have to be confident about it. i watched all your videos and you are very good. i agree that time is important in maintaining and learning all the difficult techniques in guitar playing. you can prioritize and manage your time accordingly. mr. botman, don't give up okay? you're talented! you just need to trust and believe in yourself:)

    you have work? where?

  • Once again thank you for the kind words but I've really quit playing. It's lame nobody wants to play with you even if you're "so good" - at least that's what a few people told me via youtube so far. Time's also against me. I'm working as a sort of handyman inside buildings. We finish the interiors of houses with paint and lots of other stuff. I don't know how this is called in English :) And I no longer can manage my time like I used to :) I'm working from 7am till 7 or 8 pm, then gym / motobyke

  • you're like working in an office with 4hrs overtime. hehe! however, for now, just concentrate with your job and save.

    by the way, im hazel (haha! not so obvious!) thanks again for answering my questions. it's interesting that you replied. good luck on your work and career! God bless.:)

  • bro ive been playing for 5 years almost and im almost as skilled as you and i have yet to be in a band.

    does that mean i lack skill? no it means everyone else sucks.

    keep at it you never know who you'll run into one day. practice now for performance later.

  • Hi,

    I actually recorded Take Away My Pain solo now and it's upped. Hope you like it :) And sorry it took so long for this to happen :)
