Dream Theater - Trial Of Tears solo 50% speed

Great solo from one of the great tracks on this album. I've found a couple of parts of this a bit tough to figure out, but the gist of it is all here.

I fluffed the bluesy pentatonic run near the end. I'll maybe do a follow up if I get time, but you can probably figure out where the mistakes are and improve on it.

I record these 50% speed videos because I learn so many solos, I forget how to play things that I learnt just a few weeks/months ago. These videos are helpful for me to come back to, as I can see how to play it slowly. I can then re-learn them very quickly.

I figured they might be helpful to others, too, so here they are. A lot of guitarists find it is enough to see something being played, and can then connect the dots on their own. So, if you're one of those types, these videos might be helpful to you.

I slow them down to half speed and try to work out all the details and play them as accurately as possible. If you adjust YouTube's playback speed, you can slow them down even further. Or you can double the speed to hear it being played back at normal tempo (gives things hilarious vibrato).

So, hope this is helpful to somebody. This is part of a series of videos. You can see the whole playlist here:    • Megadth - Take No Prisoners solo 50% speed
