The little string skips are harder than they look

yeah it's the string skips that are fucking me up. Other than that it's fairly straight forward. And no, i'm not looking forward to the solo, that's gonna take me a week or two alone

Thing is im just not a sweeper, it's not in me, legato and speed picking are my thing, i've been playing nearly 10 years and i still choke on sweeps, and Michael Romeo fucking LOVES to sweep goddamit!

I learnt to play the riff in the intro years ago, pretty fun to play. I didn't learn anymore of the song, since I couldn't play much more of it back then. I still remember a bit of the main riff though.

I tried the tapping section a while back, actually the easiest part of the song IMO, the riffs are much harder.

(Ignore what it says about a sweep tap, it was early in the morning)

I would agree, but it was really hard for me to learn to do cleanly (which is relative since I'm never a squeaky clean player). Once I was used to it, it was the easiest part of the solo.
