i have a pretty good ear for it but have a much harder time figuring
out the rhythm parts than the leads. i'm also very patient. i've got a
phrase sampler that i can record up to a minute of a song and then
slow it down without changing the pitch. i has been very helpful,
especially with the faster leads.
