I have been playing guitar for 15 years. when i started, i just started learning songs instead of scales. eventually i started writing. www.myspace.com/page13 was my last band. i wrote all the music for them. i am proud of my accomplishments, but feel like i am in a rut. I have gotten so used to, and love playing wide open choruses, i have not got to work on djent style rhythm. i saw your video for break down in drop a, which cause me to do two things. 1st sign up here, 2nd i bought the ibanez mushnook off ebay. I love your rhythmic playing, and your runs you do, but i am having a hard time playing them. Do you recommend a good starting point. thanks, keep up the good work.
