Wow, Apologies for dropping the ball on this one. I was checking the forum here and it looked like my thread was deleted right after I made it so I didn't bother to follow up.
...but then I realized I had checked the old Cakewalk forums. So a big hearty "my bad" there.
After spending a decent amount of time with the comp tool, audio snap and snipping out and replacing individual notes to get the playing cleaner I stumbled across the solution and I'm fairly certain I opened up pandora's box of guitar taboo's with this one but,
I just recorded it slower then sped it up using groove clip looping.
Which gave me EXACTLY what I wanted and took almost no time to do when compared to the other mouse heavy method.
Thanks for the suggs if I run into anymore problems I'll give them a shot.
