You just want to know that chromatic run right?

that whole solo would be cool as a soundslice
Thank you for your work, that’s awesome!
Thanks, your work is very much appreciated!
ive been working with this course again… very challenging, especially the tapping… yikes! 
I have another tab booklet (in japanese) for another course Romeo did called “Chaper X for Practicing”
it mirrors the Guitar chapter, but it’s all different examples
Doe anyone know if there is a DVD for this available?
I have the Young Guitar Practice Ultimate, which is an amazing book that compiles a couple decades of Young Guitar interview-lessons from great guitarists. I think most of these had videos that were part of the DVD attached to the monthly magazine. There is not a compilation DVD sold with the Practice Ultimate book. Chapter X for Practicing is part of the anthology. I’m not sure what original issue it appeared in.
Unfortunately, I don’t believe there’s an easy way to download the video lessons for most of these. I’ve written to Young Guitar on a few occasions to request them, but no dice. Maybe I’ll need a japanese translator to get the message across! It seems the only sure way to find this material is hunting down magazine back issues with the DVD still in tact.
On a side note, Marty Friedman has a couple chapters in Practice Ultimate, and also did a fantastic CtC interview. He has been living and working in Japan for years. I wonder if @Troy might persuade Marty to pull some strings at Young Guitar to release all of the lessons in Practice Ultimate as a streaming/downloadable video collection. Long shot probably, but it would be a shame for this material to sit in an archive forever, instead of being a mighty document of guitar instruction history.

Wow, that book looks awesome. I have some of those individual lessons, but that compilation looks fantastic.
Thanks for your quick reply, and willingness to helpI really appreciate it.
If Troy would lend a hand in this endeavor that would be awesome.
Best,
Nick
I’ve been learning “Sea of Lies” lately, mostly because I wanted to get into tapping and economy picking, for effiecieny reasons, my hands have a few issues and I need to reduce excessive movement.
Thank you for your work, it’s a treasure for guitar freaks like us.

Forgot I commented here haha! Did you ever transcribe/soundslice this solo?
haha no not yet…
Did anything ever materialize with this?
this was my weak attempt at cesarios cover of it. your transcription looks pretty godlike though, nice job.

Is that Young Guitar magazine like the holy grail of tablature? heh. i saw this on here a few weeks ago, and I am considering getting it off ebay. I have the 100% malmsteen one with the concerto tab stuff, hot on your heels, and cd. the tab is quite good in it.
I’d call it the Holy Grail of guitar exercises. It doesn’t have any complete songs or solos (except for some excerpts and passages). It’s definitely worth picking up if you want advanced practice material.
Exercises or kinda like licks or fragments of licks to build upon?
all of the above, it’s all lesson material from the artists so it depends on the approach they take in the lesson.

I better get one before they vanish! 
Is there a version I should look out for in particular?
The 2nd revised edition with the gray cover has like 5 additional lessons,so i’d recommend that one

I don’t know why I thought about this particular lick, and why it should be easier than I have always perceived it. But let me give you a big epiphany I had in the ease of thinking about the fingering as to opposed to the actual complexity it tries to trick your brain.
At first glance it appears to do this off the wall fingering 2 3 1, but lets think for a second what if we don’t accept it like this, and instead think of it like 1, 2, 3. Think of that last index finger being the first in the series of 1, 2, 3, but you are just traveling to a new string during the sequence to offset it into a 2 3 1 same string feel. This might can help speed it up for those of us who are struggling just something that crossed my mind as I revisited the transcription I did, and seeing the incredibly accurate ones done here.
