Thanks Glad you like my rock solos lessons.
Getting comments like this really mean a lot to me 1.5 hours a day for practice should be more than enough and aslong as you dont feel that you have to force yourself to practice, then anything you play will be of some use. When i had first learned the basics and wanted to improve, one of the things i did was to decide on 1 whole song i wanted to learn. I had all the Metallica tab-books, so i picked a song and spent some time on it. I did this for a few reasons: 1. Playing through whole songs is good for the endurance. 2. You might encounter many different techniques in the same song which will give you a good varied practice. 3. It will also help with understanding rhythm better, and if a more complex song, help with managing odd time signatures and tempo changes. 4. The feeling when you finally master it is unbeatable But it's important to first go for a song that just out of your reach. Not go for something insanely difficult at once. Also, a good tip for getting better fast is to record yourself all the time and analyse it afterwards. If you listen closely enough you can hear your flaws. Then take those flaws into account and re-record what you played. Then repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat Even catching a slight unwanted string-noise in a recording and hearing it afterwards will help, because then you might pay more attention to avoiding it the next time. Well, enough rambling from me Feel free to ask as many questions as you like Thats what this forum is for. -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio
