Definitely, I just kinda arranged it to whatever sounded good to me.
I found a video of me working on the end that leads up into the arpeggio. Give me the word, and I’ll post it to lower the bar, lol.

Go ahead, I’m curious.

I should work on it more, the random dead notes are distressing. For me, the harmonics are by far the worst. I think I’d rather just comp something there.

My attempt doesn’t sound any better, so we could play a unison 
I find it easier to pick more notes than Nuno, but I want to focus on building some left hand strength here.

Found another one where I messed up the alternate picked portion, but I think I recorded it to remember the pick strokes I settled on for the arpeggio (I’m guessing because of the camera angle and the reps I did):

This is what Nuno definitely doesn’t alternate pick on live footages. It’s crazy hard for me to play with legato 
Hi,
Check this link out for Mutha:

Thank you!! So what @joebegly suggested is correct. However, I don’t think the second part is correct, Nuno never played 3 string sweep arpeggios, he always played that stuff with string skips and legato.

The first fragment, very uneven, and 35bpm shy of the original tempo 
And drilling the first arpeggio at 120 bpm:
Looks and sounds good, this is one of my favourite solos. You’re right the second section is string skipping with legato Anton plays it wrong.
I’m not sure exactly how much legato Nuno uses but I think it’s a lot more than it sounds as he’s really strong with it and also uses muting so it’s really hard to hear exactly what he’s doing. A lot of live videos shoe him barely picking at all (play with me solo).
I don’t think Nuno has ever played this piece live and I’m guessing the reason for that is that he possibly can’t.

I agree, he’s barely picking anything live, and still sounds like he does pick a lot, but that’s because his amp setup. Still, his stuff is very fast and demanding on the left hand. Now I’m dreaming about great left hand speed, not picking speed

Today I spent a bit of time on the infamous Still of the night run.
As I’ve become aware that my left hand is tripping me over more than my moderately fast right hand, I tried to re-work both the fretting and the picking of the lick. I’ve also changed one note where I repeat sixes before hitting highest note before the descending 4s run, but I don’t mind about it.
I use hammer one’s on the occasions when it would be a string shift after an upstroke on the ascending parts, it’s more than enough work to focus on my left hand already The most challenging part is the B-13-15-17 | E-14-17p14-| pull off, my pinky usually gets screwed there.
Far from perfect, but getting closer I think. I also rested a beat longer before the final bends

Video is nothing to do with the audio, david botox cowarddale sacked the entire band after recording the album. The audio is John Sykes on the guitars.

I see the issue, you’re holding your guitar backwards.

NOT a bad joke!!! I’ve wanted to make this comment so many times on his stuff, but I always held back 
Glad someone else around here has my dry sense of humor/humour lol!

I spend an awful lot of time to learn everything both on right and left handed guitars guys. I don’t have any mirrors in the house.

Anyone having any luck with this type of arpeggios? The stretches on the A string are killing me, not to mention the tapping part at the end. The tab is missing one arpeggio shape, I was always wondering how inaccurate his own instruction materials are.
Lol, savage! I’d like to say I’d give this a go, but my chances of doing anything remotely pleasing to the ear is… well… slim!
