Technical difficulties - Racer X



Here is my impression of paul gilbert's solo on the
title track from
technical difficulties...use only as a guide although
i did my best to
pick out each and every note individually. if someone
could be bothered to
work out the rythm sections of the song we would be
set (:
see bottom of solo for notes on performing it...

final notes: 

the speed at which paul plays this solo is quite
amazing and it is hard 
to pull of note for note without deviating from what
he plays, thus dont 
be put off and feel like the loser you are (: 
also the bars are only a way of breaking the solo up
into bite size sections
and DO NOT indicate the timing of the piece. have fun
and feel free to fix 
any errors you find (im sure there are many).
