Ok, maybe this is an odd request but here it goes...
I've been an amateur musician my whole life and used to play guitar quite a bit in my 20's, but it was all fingerstyle. Now I've picked the guitar back up, 15+ years rusty, and I'm really deep diving into bluegrass and flatpicking. My left hand can keep up, but since I never played with a pick back in the day, my right hand technique and muscle memory is all basically starting from square one - totally stiff and awkward. I'm just trying to put the hours and reps in to try to build up my speed and accuracy at this point.
Anyways, I'm writing an intro/break for this song that's on my practice set list (Blink of an Eye, Danny Paisley, great song!)... I feel like I'm on to something here, and I'm exciting because it's like the first thing I've written like this, but the problem is I can't play it up to tempo and make it sound good (yet). I'm practicing it at like 100bpm (50bpm cut time??) and still missing strings and just kind of butchering it in general, and Danny's recording is at more like 172 or 176.
Any of you guitarists who can actually play well feel like giving this a try and posting or sending a quick video or audio clip so I can hear what it sounds like up to tempo and without mistakes? I tried running it through a MIDI sequencer, which gets it up to tempo but I can't handle the little tin can video-game-soundtrack guitar sound effect it uses. Danny's recording is in the key of A - I've been singing it in G because it's a better fit for my vocal range, but of course play it wherever you feel like.
I'm also of course open to general feedback on the tab - I started out trying to basically copy the mandolin intro (which starts out really similar to the intro on Man of Constant Sorrow from Oh Brother Where Art Thou...) on the guitar but it kind of took on a life of it's own the more I worked with it. I keep trying different things in measures 9-10, and at first I didn't have a rest at the beginning of measure 8, but I couldn't get back down from the 8th fret quick enough. None of it is set in stone, there's still plenty of room to noodle around and tweak it.
Thanks, and happy picking!
