There is no way I could play this. I guess I'll have to find alternatives or somehow get light speed reflexes.

Edit: Thanks for help. I found a playable tab for the song I am learning.

Many options here, actually (listed in order of insanity/difficulty):

  • you could simply play that G# on the first fret of the G string.

  • you could change the fingering to bring the notes closer together

  • you could tap that note

  • you could use an artificial harmonic to get that high G# from the first fret

This guy was a master at stuff like this and would have done #2 for sure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQVNLTPHaX0&pp=ygUadGVkIGdyZWVuZSByZWhhcm1vbml6YXRpb24%3D
