I'm a big Paul Gilbert fanboy, who in their right mind isn't?
He's a rock song encyclopaedia, and often mentions learning loads of early aerosmith, kiss songs etc Learning solos where great melody and riffs were in abundance rather than speed and flash. I'm thinking that maybe I missed this really important part of my education. I only recently (in the last year or so) listened to Van Halen, so there are probably must know songs, bands and solos I'm missing out on -------------------- My SoundCloud

I do agree but I'm quite interested in getting into the guys that slipped through my net, like Neal Schon, and most of the 80's guys

For example, Paul Gilbert learned to play when VanHalen was a really hot band with a great lead guitar player. Just like someone learning to play more recently may drift toward dream theatre or PERIPHERY etc. |

It does make me wonder why at age 12 when I was already 3 years into my guitar learning journey, I was listening to Howard Jones, and not rock music. -------------------- My SoundCloud

Guess we are spoiled these days..and that's ok. I started with a guitarmagazine..but the real hard practice stays the same during the years.

QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Sep 25 2012, 10:27 AM)  I think what characterises those years of just soaking up other people's riffs and licks is pure innocence. Just taking from anything that appeals to you. Having the beginner's mind means you can remain an eternal student and keep learning. But do it because you want to, don't feel you 'have to'  I absolutely agree with you. I spent so much time in my bedroom learning old Black Sabbath and Maiden stuff back then, because that was the stuff I wanted to play, I learned to much by doing that :-) -------------------- Guitars: various Gibson Les Pauls / Gibson J 45
