"Freewill"

Will do. I started when I was 13 or so. Started with alot of Pink Floyd (Money was the first song I learned followed by In The Flesh.). It seemed to be easier than the Beatles and I moved on to them after 7 months or so. Then after another 7 or so months I learned 2112 and that started it all. I played nothing but them for over a year and drove my dad crazy. Then he was sorry for introducing them to me but he was impressed with my playing. After a little while he dismissed me as a Geddy clone. That hurt.

I'm not all Geddy now. Somewhat Geddy with a little bit of Guy Pratt (Pink Floyd '88 - '95) and a bit of Geezer's string bending. My singing style is Geddy with McCartney mixed in with a bit of Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour.

I'll mail you the instructions.

My 1st song was Money as well. Thens ome kiss and hendrix i think. I dont remember. At the momment i want to learn more Rush (i only know Tom Sawyer) and some Black Sabbath. Cause i love sabbath and people my age still listn to them so i can play for people. Everytime i play a song people are like.... whats that. Im like... just go away.

The solo starts in D,god i know it note for note i could write them all out but it would just look scrambled a lot of notes in there you wouldn't understand the timing [i don't read or write music]when the guitar comes back it gets a little fast for the picking hand,not a good song to do for a beginner if you do it note for note,if you don't do it note for note and chop for chop it looses its appeal.

I have an idea try this see if it makes any sense DD AA D EGACF DD CEFEDCBA FF E FGABCBA A#FA# D#A#D#A# This is the solo basically minus a few chops try to figure them out based on this.It gets a lot faster and more congested good luck.

Yeah I got someone helping me figure out the solo. Its just i forgot the part as soon as the guitar comes in. I needed to figure it out.
