Banjo Difficulties by Ben Massey ("Technical Difficulties", a Racer X Cover)

This is as close as I could get to playing "Technical Difficulties" by the band Racer X in standard tuning on a 5 string banjo. It's not exactly the same, but I don't believe all those notes are readily accessible on a 5 string banjo, so this is as close as I could get. Haha. It was fun trying.
Paul Gilbert is one of the most gifted guitar players this world has ever seen, or ever will see. I play guitar too, but you won't catch me trying to play his stuff on guitar. Haha.
If you haven't yet, you should watch this video of Paul playing this song. It is mind numbing!

I couldn't do the whole solo in E on the banjo, so I just finished off with "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" by Earl Scruggs: the most influential banjo player of our time, who introduced the whole 3 finger picking style to the world.
Check out my band! http://www.shilohmountaintrio.com/
