As for my answer, probably Dream Theater's Learning To Live or Take The Time. Took me maybe a week each. For LIE, I had to become a better player as I was learning it. It was fun but I'd never learn stuff like this for a band again unless I was IN the original band. Its just too much work for music people in bars don't want to hear.
Took me over a month to read through The Wedding Singer for a pit gig. My reading chops were quite rusty. That was a lot of fun and would love to do that again.
I had a teacher that told me - " practice does NOT make perfect - PERFECT practice makes perfect..." I still live by those words...Practice makes perfect. No, practice makes permanent!
