You can't go wrong with learning your pentatonic "scales". Those are used in all Classic Rock and Metal - it's pretty much the sound from which all other sounds are based in those genres. If you like Zak, you like pentatonic!
Search the video archives for pentatonic workouts. Tons of great instructional material to get your feet wet. I would also recommend beginning to learn all the notes on the neck of your guitar. Begin with the dots, and say their name whenever you begin a lick with that note as your root - just make it a habit and you'll be well on your way to learning your guitar! -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!

Learning those things is very important. I think that you could use Ivan's workshops... he covered scales, arpeggios, modes and many other important things related to theory and harmony applied to the guitar. Check those series!

If you don't practice often. Don't do this, but use it, and the links as a basis.

Yes, pentatonic scale is a good place to start. Check out my Pentatonic Workshop Series for some practicing, or try to attend a video chat tomorrow, we will be doing some practicing of pentatonics there as well!

The guys are dead on
Pentatonics are a great place to start. The variations of the pentatonic as well. Blues and Microtonal variants are an added bonus. There just tons of great licks that are based on pentatonic structures. Here is a KILLER lesson by GABRIEL where he breaks down the "shred" version of several Pentatonic licks.https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Pentatonic-Shred-Licks/ Todd |

I would suggest to learn sight reading it will help you a lot with a neck knowledge
You can start with a simple sight reading books for trumpet because it's in the same key as guitar Here is one that helped me a lot http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=s...IwAQ#ps-sellers You will start with a very simple whole notes and towards the end of this book you will be able to read simple melodies there is a few levels so you can pick one you are comfortable with Good luck!

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Nov 30 2011, 01:44 PM)  You can learn a lot from other people's songs as well! What's your approach on learning songs? I would recommend the following steps: - Understand the structure - See the key and time signature - Understand the chord progressions for each separate part of the song - Understand the lead parts and fills - Link the lead parts with the harmony and see what sort of theoretical notions lie beneath it all. Once you understood everything, start practicing each part slowly until it's done right from the perspective of speed and accuracy, interpretation and sound. Then link the parts together and exercise them as a whole. There you go Now the main idea consists in the fact that you can draw a LOT of knowledge out of learning songs. Each bit of theoretical knowledge can be developed further. For instance, you will find a certain chord progression in a song. Take that chord progression and see what chords it contains, what other positions you could use to play that chord progression, transpose it into other scales. This is just an example of the richness you can find in developing the concepts and ideas included in the simplest song out there!  all the best mate, hope this helps Cosmin Very nice concept Cosmin, this should be a general suggestion to all musicians!
