QUOTE (GibsonSG Freak @ May 1 2007, 02:53 AM)  I just hit my midlife crisis and instead of a girlfriend or Corvette, I opted for a brand spanking new Gibson SG Standard - and got the green light from the wife!! Anyways, I have been playing guitar on and off for about 25 + years, though my ability plateaued years ago. I have developed a reasonable ability for hard rock rhythm ( stuff like ACDC, Iron Maiden, Van Halen). I am at the point where I want to develop a faster and more fluid style and be able to improvise. Can anyone suggest a good starting point for me as there are so many sections and different lessons. Thanking you in advance. ps: my lead sucks Hi fkalich!! Welcome to GMC! YOu can find great technique lessons here. You could begin with the Pavel's legatos lesson, alternate picking lessons and sweep lessons. gabriel.- -------------------- My lessons

Thanking you in advance. ps: my lead sucks Hi there, and welcome! Fkalich Gabriel both made some great suggestions on where to start, I would also suggest you look at Kris' lesson on how to structure your practice sessions. Aimless practoce is as bad as no practice at all if you really want to nail this stuff and I sense you do! Also, in addition to the Strat you will need an Ibanez RG for super fast shredding and Whammy Bar antics  Just kidding, but there is something about this site that makes you appreciate other peoples gear then start lusting after it, so keep your wife happy, she doesn't yet realize how much you will want to spend on all of this stuff! We'll see you in the forum - if you have any questions, just post 'em! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
