There are quite a few post on Berkley on The Gear Page, your ability to pay might be more of interest to them than your guitar playing ability.

They definitely care a little too much about your money. It is about 20-40,000 USD a year. I didn't go simply because the school won't make you a better player, only your determination will. Just about anyone can get in, so long as they have the cash. It might even be cheaper to just study at a conservatory if you can.

I agree.A good guitarist can be from anywhere.I wanna go to Berklee to become a better musician.I want to have a complete working knowledge of theory and the instrument itself. These books used together will teach you everything you need to know First off, The entire series for this is fantastic. http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Jazz-Guita...d/dp/073902406X Use it along with this http://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Theory-Book-Mar...8120&sr=8-1 All the theoretical knowledge you will ever need. -------------------- All the elders have fallen down...

I see this as being a bit like a race - its not a matter of how fast you can run but rather how fast the other runners are. Meaning, its not really a question of how good you can get, but how good other other people at the audition are. I hate to be a party pooper, but you're going to be competing against musicians who probably have many years of intensive practicing and composing, and eight months of intense practice on your part won't be able to compete with those guys, at least not when it comes to technical playing. You should consider devising a different strategy, like developing your composition skills, or mixing your ethnic music with Western music. Something that will stand out against the "dilalu-dilalu-dilalu" all the other shredders will be doing I could be wrong, but I think they're more concerned with you developing as an individual musician instead of being a technician. This is a very good approach man! I also agree that looking for your uniqueness (as Steve Vai says). If you want to have a intensive training, check Nihilist1 link. Maybe it's a bit long but you can use it as a guide. -------------------- My lessons

That's a very valuable goal to aim at, and all the guys gave great suggestions. I'm not sure what is your current level of theory knowledge, but if you do want to practice something, practice several things at once. Practice finding the root within the pattern, practice over chords/music, and practice combining the chords. Alex mentioned I - IV - V improvisation. If you like, you can check out blues improvisation course that we are doing atm, it contains some useful info and directions on how to properly support the music behind you (in this case, 12 bar blues progression) with your phrases.
