scream oh hey i wanted to ask you a question about guitar. how exactly did you go about getting really good?(hasnt heard you play but will take roans word for it) did you have a personal teacher or somethin teach you to play or did you get it from just flat out practicing? and if so from practice, what was it you practiced anyway? was it finger excersizes? Scales?(i do not understand scales whatsoever) and other such s**t that has to do with music theory?
OK heres the long a** story about it all.
A long time ago (about 4 years) Dan ( Zachriedek) decided to teach me guitar. At the time i was a drummer and i thought it was going to be a hopeless task, but i decided to go along with it anyway.
He taught me a few easy songs such as bullet with butterfly wings by the smashing pumpkins and a couple of nirvana songs.
He then taught me how to read guitar tab. I used to visit www.tabcrawler.com and other places to learn songs because i wanted to be as good as him.
Everytime i went to visit him i would take a tab home and learn it as fast as i could, anyway after a few months of solid bedroom practise i was able to equal his abilities.
At this time i was getting into Metallica. I thought they were the best band EVER so i pushed myself to learn their songs. I was obsessed with playing enter sandman for about a week, then i thought a challenge would be to learn the whole of the Black album. The next time i saw Dan i was playing stuff he couldnt and it made me wanna play more. Everyday i would play to metal bands because they were actually TALENTED and then i eventually heard about Megadeth and Testament. Learnt their stuff then pushed on to amazing guitar players like Marty Friedman and Jason Becker.
I learnt scales and modes to play solo's and i actually had a guitar teacher in skool for 1 term but i quit in the end because he wasnt as good as me. No joke !
