Wow, thanks everyone for some good advice. I especially liked what Marty

I think I was in this boat to some extent. It is a bit overwhelming at
first, thinking "how in the hell will I ever get this?"
I do have software to slow down parts (CoolEdit 2000). In my experience,
this works great for leads. But slowing things down without changing the
pitch isn't free. You loose fidelity the more you slow down. If you go too
far, all you hear is indistinct mush, which isn't terribly useful when you
are trying to fish out the rhythm guitar that is already buried in the mix.
I'll have to look into the pan left/right tricks. Thanks, I had forgotten
about that.
The Torquays song/tab book is great, and perhaps is a good place to start.
But they don't have those crazy Shadows/Atlantics furious rhythm parts. I am
in awe of people who can figure that stuff out, and play it (Ivan Sr comes
to mind).
Thanks again everyone...back to practicin'
