Tav Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Lightening Shred isn't the basis of a song...it's just something to add to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryn Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 yeh, you have your catchy riff / hooky singing then you take the song forward with an impressive but not over indulgent solo - check almost any van halen song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goode. I suppose all the Hendrix and Sonic Youth videos helped as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewano Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 i think you need to be taught the basics just 2 get an idea of how 2 get going. but the rest should b intuition - but you must always have the mind of a learner so you can keep progressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 my brother showed me a few chords and i went from there. entirely self taught appart from that. i like trying to recreate sounds i hear on cd and in other bands. i think it forces you to be more inventive if you're self taught. if you have guitar lesson's you can get too caught up in the technique side of things. i like to challenge myself as a guitarist though, i think it helps me find new way's of expressing myself if i know a few more chord shapes and scales. i just work them out as i go though, trial and error. i get a better sense of acheivment out of it that way, it's the only thing i've stuck at for a long period of time that's maintained my interest, and i think that's part of the reason why.
