Really depends from lesson to lesson.Each lesson has a topic which it covers.Some will focus on technique some on theory and other topics.To get the best out of the lesson is to read ALL the material (spoken video, text explanations under the tabs etc).Big chunk of lessons especially improvisation (solo) ones are designed to demonstrate use of some concepts but just to demonstrate them for you to be able to mimic the same..Your goal will be to learn the theory behind it (ask the instructor in the lesson feedback if you encounter some questions) , techniques used etc and then improvise your OWN version of it against the backing track.Generally you should be able to do that with rhythm lessons as well (improvise your own version of AC/DC style guitar track over the same backing).Idea is to grasp all the new licks, concepts etc..Try to understand the lesson's topic.You can always re use those licks in your own composing...All musicians generally "recycle" ideas around.

Really? I've started using one only recently and I definitely like using it as it gives me a way to measure progress and ensure I'm keeping a good steady rhythm. Its good that you started using metronome.It will enable you to track progress and practice your time and precision..Also you will be able to make more rapid progress and focused practice + also to concentrate on cleaning your playing (when you are on slow tempos).Generally its essential to learn how to play with a metronome since you will encounter it everywhere (for example when you record with your band in studio etc) This post has been edited by Bogdan Radovic: Mar 14 2009, 09:34 PM -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I think you already answered your problem mate. You need more theory studying. Have you tried reading Andrew's theory lessons? If you read all the articles, I think you will have a solid foundation for further development. It will all make much more sense, instead of just fretting the notes without thinking why they are there etc.
