One thing I do sometimes is break it down myself into my own blocks (licks/sub-licks) and write it in words on a computer page. Eg "G string fret 11 slide to 12, bend up, hammer on...." that kind of thing. Replay that little block and play along with it.
Well, I mentioned earlier about taking a break (not touching the guitar for a day or not clearing same solo/licks day-in-day-out 1-2hours every day).
I have been learning few solos at the moment one is a solo from Paranoid (I know its easy but hey-ho)...I managed to get half of it no probs (the easier bit), but when i got to the 2nd half/end I did struggle with some faster runs there...that was last week.
Last weekend I was busy with other stuff, so didnt have a chance to play my guitar for two days and yesterday I got back to it and I played it all from start to finish! Started at slower 60% tempo but after only few runs I managed to play it at full speed !!!
I also said that I am quite good at memorizing the melody of the solo, so having that in my head and with muscle memory the fingers just run....
I will try tonight again and check if I remember it !!!!!

You dont need to remember it as long as your brain and fingers do!
I have found that the worst thing to do is get pissed off with yourself, that definately makes me not want to pick a guitar up for a while. be kind to yourself and enjoy it. i play far better when i'm relaxed and not even thinking about what i'm playing, it definately becomes far more fluid.
i'm sure you cant be worse than me at this learning malarkey, i could give it all up most days
I would add that I don't play any fast metal stuff so whether it would work for that I don't know.
...However, I do slow down (GuitrPro) tabs with faster licks but no more than 60%.
