Like, when do you tackle the solo(s)? I have songs I'm working on to help me build my technique, that if I can't get the solo, I generally don't bother with the rest of the song. Iow, I kinda gravitate to the hardest parts first. But I'm the kind of player that likes to stay pretty close to how the entire song was recorded.
I guess I'm just curious how many of you will still do a song, and do you own thing in the solo, if it's out of reach for your current abilities, or will you just pass and pick another song? I've heard some covers where the solo was pretty bad, and my thought was they should've just not done the song.
Another thing that I focus on, is if the solo is kind of on the outlying area of my abilities, but it has licks in it that that aren't that unique, I'll bust my ass to learn it because I can then apply it to other stuff, like in my own improv bag of tricks. So in that case I'll keep at it.
What say you?
