Hello everyone! Im Amitai, and I am new arround here.
I play the guitar for arround 4-5~ months, and I know a few things.
I got an electric guitar and all the gear needed(its not mine, my brother's. He plays for 3 years).

I looked arround here, I took the 6-step beginner course, and it did help me some.
I also looked at Pavel's Heavy Metal for Beginners, and also had the Alternate Picking lesson.

So... What lessons should I take ? In what category ? I'm into Jazz and Metal.



Thank you,

Amitai.

Its important your happy and comfortable with a lesson before moving on to a tougher one, but also a bit of variety is important to keep us interested

You could go a little further with alternate picking or you could try another technique- why not try a 101 Tapping lesson (Tapping is a really fun and eye pleasing technique that is often found in metal)

More than happy to help if you need any more suggestions

Jazz and Metal.. interesting something like Jetal or Mezz Just kidding, welcome aboard. What you need to learn also are the basics of music theory. You can find everything in Andrew Cockburn theory board. Just know the basics and you will progress much faster. Also learn the minor pentatonic scale first, practise it in all positions and learn to do some position shifting. Practise everything very slowly at first and then advance to higher speeds. Learn the riffing in the same amount that you learn soloing. Hope this helps. Cheers
