Heya softies!!! I've got a tiny question. So yeah as stated, just want to find out that is it possible to obtain a 100% error free while playing the lead part of songs?
I mean, as hard as i tried/practice playing songs or certain solos, I just keep missing a note or two at random parts of the song. Maybe its concentration problem

or i practice wrongly? hmm

I wonder if those live bands out there made any mistakes while playing?
Well whatever it is maybe fellow softies can share a tip or two. =)

By songs i meant by those which demand quite alot on the lead like
: metallica- fade 2 black
: x japan - kurenai
: avenge sevenfold-bat country
etc etc lah just some examples

of course its possible to play something perfectly. and of course these musicians make mistakes too..

its abt practice. dont be discouraged even when u make lots of mistakes. the term practice makes perfect makes sense now doesnt it.

Haha yeah man i guess practice is the only way up. One more qn. Is it a must to practice with a metronome? Cuz i never.. maybe i think thats the reason why i get mistakes here and there?? hmmm

Metronome helps, especially with those fast licks you're trying to get down.

perfectionism is bad in general..
its better to learn to cover up your mistakes then forcing yourself not to make any mistakes.

And about concentration, the more you concentrate, the more you're likely to make mistakes.

hmm, i think its impossible to be 100% error free cause your're not the one whom wrote the solo. maybe 99.9999%? :P

Yes true. For the bands that composed these songs, it becomes part of muscle memory to play these songs. And when it comes to mistakes, like someone once said, when you play a wrong note, play it twice so others will think it was on purpose.

It seriously works meh? maybe in the ears of normal audiences. But can't fool the ears of seasoned/skilled musicians who heard the piece before.
