im going to do a cover of if i could fly and i need help with the lead i have the skill to play it its just when it comes to using a metronome for it would i hit a note every click unless their would bea rest or what?

:huh: What? Can you be a little more specific? If you have the skill to play it, then why do you need to ask such a question?

lol sorry i wasnt alittle bit more specific what i meant was that my skill of being able to play all the hardstuff is up their meaning i can play all the hardshit, its just getting the timing down pat. for example in the begging when the lead comes in , if you turn on a metronome while playing the begging lead would you hit every note on every specific click and when a rest comes rest for that click, until 4 clicks go by which equals to the measure. i hope you can get what im saying its hard to explain it over the computer but hopefully uyou get my main point

I think you should learn to play along with the song. You'll get a better feel for it rather than sitting there trying to figure it out with a metronome...Slow the song down and loop small sections of the solo until you can nail it, then gradually increase the tempo, put it all together and bam, there you go...Or just try and improvise when the solo comes on, and try to get the basic contour of the solo and fill in the rest yourself after...Another thing to dois to listen to the drums and how all of the guitars play around the beat. Try and imagine you're playing live. You really need to focus on the rhythm (where the snare hits are etc...) instead of trying to get too analytical with it. You will drive yourself insane if you continue what you are doing... ;)
