Hello Jonothan,

I just wanted to send a note to say thank you. Your Steve Vai rhythm lesson simply rocks, and it has been pure joy learning and playing it. I am a classic rock lead guitarist and have been playing all my life, (I am now 48) but certain techniques I just never got around to. I found this web site and have learned two lessons so far (yours and Muris Vatajic's Eddie Van Halen style) using techniques I never thought I would be able to do. You and Muris just inspire me. So thank you my friend.

Hello everyone. I really like what I see here. Didn't know I sucked so bad until I saw some of the stuff here! Especially by Kris, Muris and Marcus. Whoa!. I was wondering if I'm on the right track to achieve my goals, and am seeking some advice if you would be so kind...

I am a lead guitarist that plays rock and progressive rock for a long time. Rush, Tull, Zeppelin, and lots of classic rock type stuff. I put it down for a few years (5-6) and now I'm getting back into it. So I'm not a beginner. I primarily use a few techniques in what I think is the pentatonic minor key (from what I can tell) My goal is to learn alternate speed picking, and use it with a few new learned scales so I can shred some kick-ass runs in-between my usual melodic bending and legato solos (lots of hammer-ons and pull-offs.). I would be satisfied with that for now.

From looking around, it looks like the right place to start is this;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Guitar scales for beginners???
2. Pentatonic scale 101 – lesson1,2,3

3. Speedpicking – alternate picking - basics (pt 1)
4. Speedpicking – alternate picking - practice patterns (pt 2)
5. “Map my gap” fusion speedpicking solo (pt 2)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

There seems to be soooo many scales though - all those modes...sheesh. What should I really be spending time on to acheive my goals?
