Note: this isn't professionally recorded obviously, sorry for the terrible quality cuz ur hearing it through a headphone

The video : Hellllllp meeeee

As u can see, i can't play the fast pentatonic lick in seize the day solo as fast as the studio version and i've been practising it for months
And i know the bends are not that good but i'm just showing u guys that whenever the fast lick comes, i f**k up
Would really appreciate your help guys

What am i doing wrong?

    Hey man! I'd say to listen to that part in the solo maybe at half speed on YouTube and see if you can match the phrasing of that lick - as it's quite unusual! (The last 6 pick strokes are what you'll want to listen for)

    Practicing matching the phrasing exactly at the slower speeds and that should help you get it along with the track at full speed eventually 🤟 hope this helps!
