Put a guitar solo of '80 years "on time" with metronome is possible?

[giant ll]

Hi all. I have a question.

I'm trying to approach the guitar solo of a song "Beat It" Michael Jackson.

The solo is from Van Halen. 

I would like to quantize the solo and i'm not sure if is necessary also for backing track with a metronome speed.

I would like to ear all "perfectly on time".

It would be necessary to study well some "licks" because they are rhytmically complex.. and withouth a metronome sincronization make it a bit more difficult.

How could i work on it, on Bandlab or Sonar? at the moment i have both.

Could anybody help me?

I have separate tracks

1)drum

2)bass

3)voice

4)guitar backing track and solo together

 

I also tried to separate backing for solo in guitar.. but moises withouth paying doesn't permit me. So .. i have all guitars in one track.

This works on most songs that have a steady beat. 

Separate song into stems using Next or Audacity. 

Now drag the drum track to the timeline of Sonar and the Melodyne dialogue will open. 
Choose auto or percussive 

This will automatically create a tempo map. 
You can also do this directly in Melodyne stand alone and export the tempo map as a midi file. 

To have measures line up

Turn on Ripple edit and turn off snap to grid. 
Drag all the tracks until the downbeat is on the start of  measure 2 or 3. 
 

I have done this dozens of times with rock cover songs. 
The metronome should now follow the song. 
 

Stem separation AI has not really gotten sophisticated enough to extract individual parts. 

The solo you are after probably has easily available tab or notation available. Possibly even videos of how to play it. I’d tend to start there first.
