QUOTE (Rock @ Mar 19 2007, 05:45 PM) Ok, makes sense. Assuming I am able to pick out a fairly easy song to learn (hard rock or metal), I guess my next difficulty would be to learn the fingering on my own. The tab shows the string and fret, but not necessarily the fingering correct? I just want to get the most out of my practice sessions and don't want to be wasting time and energy figuring out what someone has already done. Make sense? It's just that at least with the video instructions I know I am working correctly on something or not. Figuring it out is part of the learning process really - if you have problems with specific parts of tabs etc you can always ask on the board Get playing real songs dude, its what we are all working towards, and when you master something that is hard for you, it is the most motivating thing you can do! Good luck!

QUOTE (Rob_g @ Mar 19 2007, 06:07 PM) hmm i gotta question is it alright to just spend most of your time learning songs and improvising. Because i spend probably no time on excercises. I maybe spend a little bit of time figuring how to play some licks but thats not really excercising, i think  should i be excercising more?Kris' suggestion is you spend 1/3 time with the metronome practicing for speed and consistency, 1/3 time jamming and playing stuff, and the remaining 1/3 learning new stuff that you aren't ready to metronome yet ... and who am I to argue with Kris? If I had to pick one I would pick learning songs and improvising, but it is amazing how fast my playing has come on since I added the other 2
