I've been working on Creeping Death. It took a month or so but I finally can play the rhythm at full speed.
Now I'm working on the solo

I'm not into to metal much but that sounds fun as hell to play
I am a relative beginner and middle aged, so I am focusing on feel rather than technical prowess. I am trying to learn bits and pieces (literally seconds) of SRV's Texas Flood, specifically his 1984 Montreal performance. It is technically not too crazy in parts, but playing those parts clean and with the right feel is proving just as challenging. It's like playing BB King. Sure, you can hit the right notes, but did you hit them the right way?
Ambitious! Very nice. I should try and learn some SRV, and no, I will not be able to hit the notes the right way
Looking at the tabs, he's basically just dancing around within the pentatonic box, but very, very quickly. What is killing me is those bends and vibrattos in what seems like perfect pitch. How? Anyway, that's the fun. Thankfully I use Roto Pinks which come with spare high E's.
EDIT: This is the other song I am practicing. I am also not skilled enough for it but that's the fun part.
How?
Technical prowess. Don't skip.
I'm refining my performance of Opeth's Black Rose Immortal that I intend on recording a cover of soon. @rx120d on Youtube.
I've been listening to a lot of Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats, and Graveyard, just kinda picking through licks here and there that I like. In particular I just sat and learned Surf's Up, and want to try my hand at Hymn for a Droid next.

Girl Affraid by the Smiths
I've pretty much learned it (I'm mostly just just working on accuracy, now), but the song/riff that I very recently was learning was a cover, by James Stent, of Cupid by FIFTY FIFTY.
