Get playing the simple songs like Iron Man by Black Sabbath and Breaking The Law by Judas Priest. And improve your playing until you know what isn't progressing so well with your playing. Practice chord changing between basic chords and scales like the Major Scale, Minor scale and pentatonic scale with blues additions. Also practice down picking and alternate picking and maybe a little tapping. You can find it all at GMC. Just use the search functions and choose lessons that you think will be fun for you. Good luck and practicing for a week wont get you to god status you need to really put the hours in and in a years time I guarantee if you practice you'll be a long way forward from where you are now You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

This is a very motivated question - and I think we have all been there! So the first thing I want you to understand is that feeling the way you do is highly normal - and even the best guitarists go through periods like this! Secondly - I would guess that there are things you have "skipped" in your playing. Basically things which everyone has described as "this is really important you have got to practice this" - but they have felt really difficult for you to accomplish so you have skipped them. Examples of this could be: practicing with metronome, learning scales, alternate picking etc. If I am right about this - I would suggest diving into one of those "skipped" areas. It will be a lot of hard work in the beginning - but it could really take your playing to the next level. Another thing which could work - is to just double your amount of daily practicing. You should then notice quicker progress. I hope this helps! I also want to say that you did the right thing asking for support here on the forum - that's part of the reason why we have forums at GMC!
