Strenghts
I really want to learn this instrument, good will!
I consider myself a good rythm player
I got a lot of time, at least for now.

Weaknesses
1. Right now, I think my technique needs to become alot better
2. Improvising. I know too few licks and scale patterns properly.
3. Ear training.

Goals
Be able to play blazingly fast …
… so that I won’t be limited when composing, improvising, playing covers, etc
Be able to compose, everything from heavy metal riffs to jazz backing and 12-bar blues.
Be able to improvise over anything (see list above!)

Theory
I know minor/major pentatonic, one 3nps major pattern.
Know the theory behind modes, chords, harmonies.
I know the theory behind all scales, but I have never learned the patterns.

Favorite songs
Metallica – Master of Puppets
Metallica – Creeping Death
Metallica – One
Basically everything from Metallica up to (including) the Black Album and Death Magnetic.
Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb
Gary Moore – The Loner
Gary Moore – Still Got the Blues
Steve Vai – For the Love of God
Joe Satriani – Always With Me, Always With You

I can play 4 notes pr beat at 117 - 120 bpm, I know the basics of sweeping, really want to get a system on my practicing, because most of the time I just play songs I already know. Trying to learn Canon Rock atm, and I have begun listening to classical music. I want the MTP program to make me better at practicing, with giving me a plan, a schedule. i am looking forward to be critizised on my playing, as the only people who watch me play don't know that much about guitar playing (drummer ).

Stuck In One Artist

I am a huge Metallica-fan, and I play a lot of their songs. To learn some more styles I would like some songs I could learn. I have decided for Joe Satriani's Always with me, Always with you, but I would like some more suggestions.

In The Style Of Jimmy Page

Hi, I really want a lesson on Jimmy Page, but I can't find any. If someone would make a lesson it would be awesome.

Both rythm and solo.

Tuning

Re-stringed and can't get the tune right, what so ever. Anyone got some tips?
