This is brilliant!! You guys are awesome!
 
The snip/move/slip-stretch trick is working perfectly, but I want to try these other techniques too. Trying to fix this by manually moving the transient markers just made a mess. This way is pretty much undetectable and should be perfect base to build this song on top of.
 
Again, thanks so much to all! Now I just gotta do the rest of the record. Yay!

I thought I understood this was a single guitar track that also has a solo part in it where it is sped up? If so I'd love to throw it into Melodyne and see if I can fix it. Should be a 30 second operation if it works as advertised.

Awesome. I love it when things work out.
 
Have fun tracking.
 
Cheers!

As you move forward and learn tools, workflows, etc., do not lose sight of the validity of a simple re-tracking. From the perspective of time, playing for 3 minutes to edit for 3-hours can sometimes be one's nemesis; when playing for 20 minutes may be a better solution - plus it makes tracking go more smoothly in each iteration.
 
Reason I say this is I have a friend who still records to tape, so he has tracking down to a fine art. I continually harp on him as he moves into the "DAW world" not to get enticed by all the editing tools that are available.

This is not lost on me! There are several lessons to be learned here. One is that self-producing bands have to be their own slave drivers. If we had some expensive scary guy saying "that sucked, do it again" this problem wouldn't exist. On the other hand, long days of work followed by long nights in the studio tend to make "it's fine, go to the next one" pretty easy to say. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn these techniques, but the work involved will (hopefully) make me more aware during the tracking process.

If it's just that single guitar track, Melodyne should be able to get a good tempo out of it which you can then straighten out. 

It's actually a "live" track of one guitar and two vocals, only part of which is the solo. After looking more closely, I've found other time issues throughout the song. Melodyne is a tool that's high on my list of things to learn.
