Initially I tried to listen to the whole 22 second peice and play along with it on my guitar. It took basically an hour before I realized that I wasn't anywhere near the skill to pull that kind stunt off...

I then settled on trying the break the story into fragments of a few words and then try to follow along those segments with the guitar...

Well another hour or so plodding along and I had managed to accomplish nothing as each segement was still too complex and fast for my ear to discern the notes and translate to fretted strings of the guitar neck. Eventually I realized that I needed a much more clear and simple guide track to follow with the guitar, so I recorded my self humming along with the various fragments of the story.

Basically I would select a portion of the story, loop that fragment of audio, try to find the notes being spoken and punch in several takes of me humming the notes that I heard. This process was very tedious and slow as I would get fustrated trying to find the notes being spoken, often taking over half an hour just to get a rough melody of a one or two second fragment...

After this guide track was layed out, the guitar tracked followed very quickly, taking a little over an hour to figure out each segment on the guitar and through the same method, loop and punch in several takes of that segment
