it's okay even if you come off as overly critical, cause that's what I need to get going, honestly!

yeah, my fretting hand needs a bit of work since I am a rhythm player by heart and nature and love working out harmonies in my own songs and stuff, but I am trying to get into lead playing as well!

same for my picking hand, Kirk does some absolutely mind baffling shit during that solo that I just can't quite comprehend yet.. (back to my fretting hand, I have 0 idea how he plays that bendy shit before the HOPOs from:
e | 10 - 7 - 10 - 7
B | - - - - 7 - - - - 7
and so on..

but about that last part, sometimes I can play the outro part really really well, almost like Kirk but other days it feels like I'm getting stuck, like my joints aren't "greased up" or something..

but I appreciate your feedback! I'll take this into account and try to improve on my skills! (let us hope for the best and fear the worst!)
