It’s a lot like riding a bike though in that you never really lose the skill and that Europe song isn’t all that difficult to play.

Perhaps the chorus, which everyone knows (I think it’s banned in music stores along with Stairway to Heaven and Nothing Else Matters ), but those quick licks resembling the tapping technique are a tough job.

Ok ,I think can post something that has nothin to do with adventuring.

Ha ha! It worked! I knew I could get you to come out of hiding with some guitar playing.

 

Got me!

That not a les Paul ,right ,Ibanez i guess?.

The last electric guitar I purchased (22 years ago!!) and which I used to record that is a 1992 Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 10 Top like the one for sale here.

I m right and wrong ,then ,the guitar’ sound did not sound anywhere near Norum’s les Paul ,the more aggressive pickups sound reminded me of the Ibanez ,somehow.

You nailed it man ,but for me I have different look to those two songs you mentioned ,nothing else and stairway but add hotel California ,I always thought/felt that when anyone asks me to play them humiliated ,yea ,“it’s Enough!!”,“let anyone else plays them for you”
I hope that makes any sense for you or anyone!.

I am not sure by resembling the tapping technique meaning ,isn’t those more like ‘rapid arpeggio alternate picking style’ ?,damn I am sure there is a shorter word to describe that ‘two string picking style’ ,but my memory just can’t help me ,like always.

You’re right, at first I thought it sounded like the tapping, but looking at video this is how he plays it:

it’s a very tough technique, though. It reminds me of Adrian Smith’s solo from 3:30 - I could never get that notes right
