You are a really cool guy but this is not right

[Johndrakenosix]

@TheSteamer13 It's quite possible that something's not right. I do most of this stuff by ear. It would probably be helpful for people who watch this to know what's not right and how to play those parts correctly. Can you help? That would be great.

 Really,helpful. thanks for posting.

@Johndrakenosix The reason it sounds a bit off is that Bishop plays this song with a metal slide, not as a straight up finger lead solo, so you're losing that effect even though it's an accurate cover. Nice sunburst Strat in the back - I have an '84 US Strat myself.

I love this solo. I can not play it on guitar. Although I do play. Playing by ear is what I did too. I think it might be the timing of some of your notes. It sounds as though you are late on some of it. But thats why I did not shred you because 1 I cant play it and 2 You are way ahead of where I was when I tried to play this. There is a guy on Youtube who nails every bend,pull off hammer,etc. on this solo. Think his name is LPSSW. Something like that. Just search this solo. You will find him.
