Constant Motion Solo Cover (Tapping)

Originally written by Dream Theater's John Petrucci to be played with alternate picking. I made a few minor adjustments to play it using overhand tapping. I think one of the reasons overhand tapping it not often used to create this kind of music is because people don't know how to smoothly transition from the standard hand position to the overhand position, but the transitions I use here are fairly simple to execute.

@Sphereal Baffled in a good way, I hope! Yeah, I don't even have enough frets on my guitar to play the end of the solo as written, so my only options were to drop it down an octave or just write something challenging of my own.

Time to shave, Mr. Malloy.

Just kidding. I´m always baffled at your approach to solos. 0:57 is awesome, but I smiled when you decided to skip those fast arpeggios afterwards.
