Almost everything I learn here isn't used in the style of music I like, but practicing sweeping and speed picking, for example, has given me great control over the instrument. Compared to some of the speed picking runs I've been practicing, "Freebird" is getting easier and easier to play just because I can control unwanted string noise and play at a faster tempo now. So I'm all for the new lessons because they're technically hard to play. I don't like the genre but the practice is what counts. It's easier for me to find the sheet music for old rock songs on the internet than it is to find good guitar lessons. (of coarse, if we ever have lessons in the style of Cream, ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, or Pink Floyd that would be awesome ) I totally agree - you can learn from any lesson, and the lessons here are of universally exceptional quality - the effects of learning any of them will improve your technique all over, and in the end it is up to you to figure out what your style is an play it. The more diverse elements you learn, the greater the chance you have of coming up with something unique. While I'd like to see some lessons in some more varied genres, I think it is way more important that our exceptional instructors continue to produce high quality lessons in styles that THEY are passionate about, that way we will get the best possible lessons. Of course, I'd be very happy if we got a new blues or Jazz instructor tomorrow - I think that is a better answer than asking the guys to work on stuff that is not so interesting to them. But whether or not that happens, I am getting so much out of this site that it isn't a problem for me.
