I recorded some videos too - I'm not even close to Eric's accuracy, clarity and speed of playing, but I feel like I've learnt more while practicing these riffs than during last two years of playing
Even with no chance of winning - it was worth doing

Appreciate the kind words and you're takes are great as well! I know what you mean though, I don't spend much time transcribing and this has been great practice for me!

I got #8 up last night and hoping to finish the 7 string riffing tonight as I'm working on #'s 7 & 9!

Alright guys, I finished them off and got all 10 up on my page. Really appreciate you guys taking the time to view them! Let me know if you had any questions. For all of them I used my RG752 with Dimarzios - ISP Decimator II - EVH5153 1x12 combo - Flashback Delay (in loop for lead riffs) - Nikon D5300 Camera (for audio and video capture).
