This is more me after some help....and since WyldeChild knows his Zakk shit and Zakk played this song with Ozzy...

My band might be covering this...the tapping bit and shit are fucking hard to get in time, and getting the solo to flow smoothly is hard.

Any tips?

here's a tip for you.. just practise it with a metronome or drum machine...

+ slow it down

simple ..

well first of all, you may want to study randy rhoads instead of zakk on this one....
But wylde child is right just slow it down until you get it perfectly and then keep speeding it up... the one thing that was difficult for me to get originally was the one solo lick(i'm in school right now so i can't exactly remember which one) but off the top of my head i think it was the last one. i'll listen to your recording when i get home and see if i can offer any more help

nice vibrato

!

play along with any live recording of the song (preferably the Tribute album.), and when you're good at that, go to the studio version (from Blizzard of Ozz or any GH album).

if you have one of these:

(tempo altering cd players)
use that, those are REAL helpful, cause you can change the tempo of the song, and all sorts of other cool shit.

it sounds pretty good so far, though.

yeah no that i have listened to it... not bad but i still think slowing it down would help you clean up the tapping a bit and it seems like your having the same problem that i did originally which also will be cured by slowing it down... good luck
