My goal is to be a good guitar player of course I like listening and playing blues and hard rock.
My weakness is im very impaitent. Sometimes i just cant stand doing exercises etc...
My strongest point is that sometimes i can be very creative

My favorite guitar players are; Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, SRV, Angus Young, Slash, Tracy Chapman etc...

The most level i can play in this sites lessons is 6.

And bllues licks are my favorite.

Cool! Since you have mentioned that you are interested in blues we will start with a melodic exercise right away!
I have a perfect assignment for you! It is a minor blues in A minor
This is the backing track we will be using for a while and all your assignments will be based on it!
