hey, i'm bobby, and i've been playing guitar for about 9 months now... I
play every single day, and everybody says that I am learning really fast.
But recently I've been stuck at the same level of playing.
I feel like im getting to a stage where i'm almost out of the "beginner"
stage of learning to play guitar. But i'm kindof stuck right now...
i've pretty much mastered the power cord and cords like G A D C Cadd9 and
stuff like that.
I can play a few songs all the way through, from bands like greenday,
taking back sunday, the ataris, and paramore.
I recently learned how to alternate pick, and i can now play some faster
picking songs like 187 by senses fail and sweet child of mine by guns and
roses.
i've been stuck at this level for a long time now and I was wondering if
anyone could give me any ideas on where to go from here?......
Harder songs to try?(not too hard)
different techniques?...
thanks,
~bobby

Can you play the entire lead guitar to sweet child of mine?...if you can
than thats great however its just the beginning to what you need to
learn...first of all learning should not be practice...not saying practice
is not important however if you have to practice something it usually means
you are forcing yourself to learn and or experience something that doesnt
come naturally to you....not saying thats good or bad however if its not
fun to learn and or to play then whats the point of doing it to begin
with.
Modern music is easy to play and does not challenge a guitar player at
all...when I say challenge I dont just mean lead guitar however if you want
to be an awesome guitarist then lead guitar and or the roots of lead guitar
are essential.
You need to learn blues lead guitar...Why do you need to learn blues lead
guitar?...its simple...the older you become as a guitar player the more you
realize its not how many notes you play or how fast you play however its
the right note at the right time that makes music special...having said
that i can say Im not a huge blues fan...just like a lot of music it can
sound the same a lot of the time...the thing that is important about blues
is emotion...regardless if you play fast or slow emotion is an important
part of music and this only becomes stronger the older a player gets.
Also its important to write ones own songs as much as possibe and if you
have a way of recording it then all the better...record all songs you write
in the beginning of your guitar playing becasue thats when your most
innocent with barriers and or walls to cross.
Here is an aewsome blues instrumental which is not to hard and will help in
the emotion part of playing...its cool to play other peoples music but
never forget that when it comes to writing youe own tunes emotion is key if
you want your music to be classic and last forever.
Here is a song called hideway...its not hard however its cool and a guitar
player can learn something even though its second or third hand.

Learn your pentatonics. There's 5 positions or Box patterns that are
movable in any key.
