Im sure i could play the lick you posted. Maybe ill see if theres a lesson on YouTube. I saw them on that tour, opening for RUSH on their Roll the bones tour. Also one other time about 10 years ago....maybe 12, not sure.It's harder than it sounds.
Can you...
If you can "pull off"
- on high e, 0h2p0 b0?
- on high e, 0h5h7h12p7p5h17
those two maneuvers, you could most likely learn it. You have to take it in sections, commit them to memory (so you can look at what you're doing), and build up a callous on your tapping finger for the slide! Lol
I'm working on it right now, and the hardest thing for me, since it's played on 3 different strings, is stopping the strings from continuing to ring when you change to a different string.
That's a trick I never used to pay any attention to, but since I am so in love with higher gain tones (even if it's used just to get that "creamy tone", (as opposed to a ton of distortion), it's something I work on constantly.
But it's actually simple: We do things with more than 1 finger all the time. I just have to use that same thought process, and find a free finger, and lightly touch it to whatever string I need to stop ringing, at the exact same time I hit the next note. It's just not something my brain is used to. I have to treat it likes it's just another note that needs to be played. Just very lightly.
Like in that first lick above, I touch the high e at the same time I pick the open B.

I saw that show too!! They were with them on Presto too I believe. I remember being truly impressed with Mr. Big, and even though they both put on a great show, when Rush came on I thought, "Ok, those were the boys, but these guys are men."
See if this interests you-

I can't stop listening to that Mexican trio. Amazing discovery!!
I love their latest version of Enter sandman
As sisters, they've been playing together for a while. Solid evolution.

@State of Epicicity for your consideration!
This was before he started the company in earnest...in another at this performance, there is a prototype of a Dunable he made for his other guitarist.

Thanks for the recommendation. That was not my speed, but I appreciate it. For contrast, the only prog metal that I've newly gotten into over the past few years has been the album Novo oružje protiv bola by Quasarborn. Here's one I love from that album, called Voz:
Intronaut made me think of doom metal, and the closest I've ever liked is the first Confessor album, called Condemned. Here's a song I love from that album called Eve of Salvation:

I play both bands in our car, and my wife uh, deals with it haha. Then we'll play something from her side, like Joni Mitchell, and I have to deal with it!

Boy I hated disco, but I can't decide if I kinda like this song, or if it just plain sucks.
Came on the radio, so figured why not?
Don't recall that guitar solo though.

@TSJMajesty I'm 100% behind the Donna Summer song. I love a ton of 80s pop. She might've started in disco, but this song is from 1983.
And love or hate 80s pop, Queensyche up to 1994 is hard to beat. In my book, you just don't find better vocals anywhere, and when you mix Tate in his prime with the epic songwriting they had in the 80s, it just doesn't get any better. Now I have to go listen to London from Rage for Order...
