Default Is anybody able to figure this solo out?

FOr the life of me and I don't know why, I can't figure this guitar solo out. Its a Bon Jovi song, Born to be my baby acoustic version from the early 90's and I love the sound of this solo that Richie must of gotten on his Ovation acoustic at the time since that's the brand of acoustic he was playing around then.

Has anyone else ever had this problem where you were able to figure out harder pieces than this, yet couldn't figure out the easier piece?

Have you tried slowing it down and playing along?

Mhhh, this is funny - the solo seems to be a collection of stolen riffs and licks. It starts with the melody of "Don't let me be misunderstood" and he cites some of the licks of Paco, Al & John from Fridaynight in SF, arround 3:25. Lots of chromatic passingtones. So it not easy to hear them at this high speed. Bits of harmonic and melodic minor and 3 notes per string passages. Slow it down and take care not to break the fingers

Not real sure why you'd want to play that solo
