I’m not going to lie. Few years ago I spent 2-3 hours a day for 3 weeks straight learning 2 seconds of music and by the end I still couldn’t play it. So yeah I can relate

So fking tired of being an oversensitive naive moronic fkin bitch. I CANT STOP IT. I CANT CHANGE. IM STUCK. This world eats me alive. My purpose is simply to be what others shouldn't be. A shriveled fking beacon of sad energy. I have lost. I am lost.

Sadly, I can totally relate also.  I had every intention of learning Jaws of Life from start to finish since I got a 7 String this summer and guess what....I can play the intro, verse, and chorus (mostly).  The solo?  Forget it.

Literally me when I tried learning the Octavarium synth solo. Never finished learning it.

From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

But can you play it with all the brooding artsy moodiness it deserves?

Jordan took Moore's boring, pedestrian parts and elevated them considerably to take them from barely palatable to stellar.

I can totally relate. I have tried and failed lots of times to learn DT solos.

Some will give you a false sense of optimism, like The Best Of Times. It starts off ok and you're thinking, "yeah, I can do this", and ten seconds later you're in a world of pain.  :lol

That, Wait For Sleep, and The Answer Lies Within are pretty much all I learned  :lol Space-Dye Vest is insanely fun/cool to play!

I only know parts of DT songs. The first minute or two from PMU, the intro to OTBOA,  opening riff to Never Enough,  parts of Ytsejam, ITNOG etc.
I figured what's the point in learning whole DT songs if I can't jam them with others. I don't have the chops to pull off the average Petrucci solo either.  :facepalm: :lol
