How to Practice Guitar Effectively: "Secrets of Success"
This solo was written for playing over the chords to Melancholy Baby (our singer fancied it, inspired by Chas and Dave) which needed to be gigged at about 160bpm as I recall.  Here I'm stress testing things, finding out what goes wrong at different speeds as a practice tool.  The first thing to fall apart shows the weakest point and therefore the most important focus for practice.  Recorded from 120 to 220bpm.

Poking my nose into the world of trad jazz.
