Lookin' To Be Able To Play What I Hear In My Head

I can play some very, very, very easy and basic stuff (e.g. Nirvana, Green Day) and do some soloing with basic hammer-ons and pull-offs, but my playing still sounds pretty sloppy and I don't know a damn THING about theory. If you have any recommendations to offer me for particular lessons on the site, feel free and it would be appreciated. I have no idea what a D7 chord means, or what the circle of fifths is, or any of the other stuff a lot of the lessons talk about that I've browsed through. I have the major and minor scale shapes memorized up and down the fretboard, but have yet to be able to instantly know which fret on which string is which note. I don't know how to take a chord progression and solo over it effectively other than by playing random notes within a scale, and am trying to figure that out. At the same time, I have a lot of technique to hone, so, for now, am starting with the "Finger Independence" lesson series. Anyways, that's a bit of information about me. I'd love to be able to shred, be able to improvise and have it actually sound good, and be able to figure out and play the melodies and harmonies that I hear in my head when composing in that manner. I've got a hell of a long way to go before having any appreciable level of skill, but will, nonetheless, walk in that direction and take the different challenges as they come at me. Particular styles I love to listen to and would like to be able to play would be: progressive metal (death, black, etc.), different forms of extreme metal, alternative rock, grunge, shoegaze, and things of the sort.

I think Lian gave you the same advice that I would, those 2 links are the begining here in the site. But I can add as Lian did that you can ask any questions and we'll answer them. I mean if you have trouble when you read the theory lessons and you need to clarify anything be free to give it a post here at the forum.

Mar 16 2009, 10:25 AM	GMC:er Posts: 17 Joined: 16-March 09 From: Oregon	Here at my university, I got my Fender double fat-strat and an insanely crappy Esteban acoustic amp that I'll be using to practice on. I have a Marshall MG250DFX in storage back in my hometown. Thinking about getting one of those PODXT's or PODX3's, but don't quite have the cash to spring for it just yet because it sucks being a poor student. I'll probably grab the Marshall soon, but it doesn't matter if I have crappy equipment right now since all I want to do is improve my/get some guitar abilities, and I'd practice on a piece of firewood with strings if I had to. For either the curious or the bored to check out, I've attached some songs I recorded a while ago. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
