Doing the melody, paraphrasing the melody, intro, coda, chords and inversions, arpeggios, scales, solos, different keys. Eff it. I don't think I'll run out of things to work on, ways to improve, or be in danger of sounding like Joe Pass any time soon.The things that you wanted

This is a solid approach to music. Hell, Nickleback decided to keep playing the same song over and over again a couple decades ago and they got pretty rich. :PJoin me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Nice idea. I thought of taking this same approach to "Holy Wars" - just practicing it almost exclusively, until I could play it. That didn't last two days. I don't have the patience to scrutinize tabs, especially on songs that far beyond my capabilities.

^ Cuz I'm a jazz musician. That's what we do. Practice tunes and shed stuff related to playing tunes well.

Doing something like this is a fantastic way to level up in a lot of music skills! A trick one of my guitar teachers showed me is to transcribe the melody up one octave so it fits on top of the chord voicings.
Enjoy!Why don't you take your little Cobra Kais and get outta here?!

I hadn't heard this tune, and I really like it. Great melody. Cool chords. It is a winner.Administrator of the SDUGF

But somewhat to this guy's credit, the songwriter himself (Robert Fripp) is on record as saying this song "Fracture" is "impossible to play".

But now that i have, i suspect the band Phish was influenced by the melody and rhythm in the repeating section of this song that has the pauses/accents, when they crafted one of the key riffs in their song "Stash".
