Yeah, the best feeling in the world for me is:
1 finally getting a song after a lot of practice and frusteration
2 Getting a song once you first look at it
3 I love it when a girl............wait, just kidding HA

I hate myself :(

Yeah, the billies verse is tricky. Strange, the click thing has never happened with me. Hard songs like SMTS and billiees I am able to play well, but only after weeks of ruthless practicing.

Yeah, as a drummer, your taght to play with a click and perfect songs basiclly at half speed before moving on. It takes longer to learn songs, but when you get them at full speed, you sound like a pro( I hope anyway)

I hate playing songs at half speed and ten speeding up. The stone, SMTS, and R&R were the only songs that were so hard I was forced to do that.

if you are learning a song that you can pick up immediately, then you need to pick a harder song. it means its too easy for you

Even on easy songs I slowed down. Maybe not to the same extent as say Tripping Billies and the stone, but I still wanted to perfect them. Thats just what I do, everyong needs to do there own thang.

Hey, I've been a ghost here for a while and decided to finally speak up. The other night I experienced the mysterious "click" with "Neon." At about 1 am I picked up my guitar, dropped the low E to C, and busted it out like never before. Nothing's more efficient than getting better without practice. :wink:
