So I've finally been able to play a solo, albeit with a couple of clinks. It's just one of those things that I wanted to be able to do, and was pretty excited once I was able to play it, and actually make it sound decent.

I went ahead and just played the solo, and the rest of the song since it isn't too much longer after that. It's not a very difficult solo if you have played guitar for any length of time I imagine.

Okay, so the solo comes from the song "Now and Forever" by Richard Marx. I'm pretty excited about this so, I hope you enjoy!

Very nice solo! Smooth and clean. You play it very good.

And... the vocalist was doing some chorus, isn't? :lol:

Good job!

Hey, thanks very much! I was actually happy with some of my guitar work for once :lol:

Yeah, my kid sings better than I do, so I let him do the singing.

too much talk not enough guitar. :wink:
nice playing. feels a bit studied, but that will change the more you play the song.

Thanks everyone!

I'm hoping that the more I play the less real concentration that I will have to put directly into it and not give the fret-board the "gaze of death" as I'm playing! :lol:

As far as the baby effects go, when two people love each other very much, and they decide that they.....well, maybe this isn't the right time :lol:
