try this.. break the solo into many many parts, like individual sections and practice them seperately. then when you nail all of them down, start joining them up 1 by 1, like lick 1 + lick 2. practice that then join lick 2 + lick 3, then lick 1+2+3 and so on.. that's my way of remember, hope it helps you too


well you can do that but i prefer not to, cuz i'm quite particular about my playing and i feel that playing all downstrokes make it feel more "chug" and even.

for that particular song i find it great for warmup.. verse riffs warms up my downstroke and lower fret riffing while the solo warms up my alternate picking and arpeggios
