This is a video of me playing Domination by Pantera on Rocksmith, or at least trying to... lol! This song is crazy difficult all around but a blast to play as you get more comfortable with all of the riffs. The solo is... well... out of control to say the least!

Solo 1 has a legato run full of 12-15-18 hammer-ons, which I simply cannot play as my fingers just won't stretch that far on the top strings. You'll notice that I change positions right before the solo too pull the neck of my guitar up a bit in an attempt to reach farther. Still not far enough unfortunately :(

Solo 3 is a super-fast ascending shred run that I have spent the majority of my practice time working on this week. At first, I started playing the Rocksmith tab of it but it just wasn't sounding as good as I wanted it to when I started playing it close to speed. I started checking YouTube for alternate ways to play it and that is when I came across Chris Zoupa's videos. Not only is he a way cool dude, this guy is a complete animal on the guitar and provides online tutorials of some of the most difficult solos there are to play! The craziest part is he doesn't even use a pick?!?!... Lol, anyhow, check out his Domination lesson in the link below... Unreal man! After using his lesson, I changed to his method for Solo 3 and am much happier with the sound of it. I still play it a bit messy at full tempo so hopefully I can get cleaned up soon. The cool part is once you memorize it, you can practice it in Accelerator at whatever speed you're comfortable with and Rocksmith will still honor the majority of the notes! Thanks a ton Chris for the lesson!

Anyhow, hopefully it gives you all a general idea of how to play the song, even if it is a bit messy in parts. As always, appropriate comments and constructive feedback are appreciated :)
