Hmmm yesterday.
We learned some new funk rhythms to help improve my uhh... shit I can't remember what it's called.
Barring?
like using ur index finegr to press 3 strings... like
the first fret of the top 3 strings... with my index..
keeping my index straight so it produces a proper sound etc.
we finished off Hotel California's solo.
Although I still can't play the whole thing.
So yeah... my new homework this week is to get good at barring.


This is my 8th lesson to date.
What a difference.

that is barring

i personally dont think any lessons are necessary. Ive been playing for two years and never had one lesson and im better than many of the people i know who have played for the same amount of time with lessons. The lessons just kill your own way of playing. I learned all the basics from Videos like Live at donington and Stevie Ray Vaughan live. I think this way pushes you to be better faster

last post was a bit harsh...sorry! sounds like the lessons are working great for you :-D keep it up!

Sounds like these Lessons are certainly helping you alot! I hate what i'm about to say, but unfortunately it needs to be said.

You don't like SG's, ok fair enough. You like Les Pauls but can't afford at $3500 one, so....... Get an Epiphone. I hate Epiphones, purely because it's not a Gibson. But, for the price range you have, an Epiphone is perfect for you. There's not much difference in playablity, and they look cool. Get one, it will be a great investment for your guitar career.

ty both for input.
These lessons are amazing.
before.. i could barely palm mute anything.
now, i can bend, pull off hammer on...
slide, use my own style, alternate picking... etc etc.
im gettign really good man!

also... i got a barracuda les paul
its amazing
i love it.

wow! your teacher sounds impressive! i know alot of guys who take lessons for a year who arent as good as you! way to go! and great choice on the guitar! i personally favor les pauls as well... im getting a prophecy EX les paul next. right now i play a shecter hellraiser...a bit to chunky for me...haha
