I found out that every starter guitar player is a god at down picking but once we break off into alt picking we become shit at it XD Mostly because i think master of puppets is one of the first songs we all try and have not yet discovered alt picking cause down picking is more natural at first.

Learning songs is part of journey, but during first 2 years you should focus mostly on exercises. You can learn new songs, but exercises should be your rutine, the more the better, I know it's boring but exercises and practicing is your progress. Trust me, I've been playing the guitar for 18 years. During first few months I was so determined to learn few riffs and songs, I learned Thunderstruck by AC/DC pretty quickly, but guess what? It gave me nothing when it came to learning other songs. Only when I started to treat playing seriously and I was practicing with a metronome I noticed, that learning new songs became more natural and I was able to learn faster.

I have played for about 25 years. There is one thing you did in this video that is EXTREMELY important that people find out when playingblead guitar licks. During your first year there was something that was holding you back. It was the finger positiining of your fretting had . You were using the fatter part of you fingers more. Then when you started using more of your finger tips you not only got more accurate sound you got more speed and accurrac. Good job on correcting that early. I would say that you did something else that I believe is important in the video. That was waiting a while to buy new gear. Once you have practice on gear that is not that good to improve it really helps your mental state of playing that now you sound better and it is a boost of wanting to improve even more. You are on the right path now bro. I would suggest to start adding a learning a little bit of the tools now. Everyday in practice add just 30 minutes to an hour everyday or every other day into learning all the major-minor pentanoics and learn the modes. Do an excose that makes them kind of fun. O would suggest using them as warm up so you cannlearnnsomething everyday while you warm up.Once you have learned that it will again catapult your play ability. John Mayer has a great video of what he calls the equater. He teaches you how to vowualize mixing major amd minor pentatonic scales together. KEEP JAMMIMG BROTHER!!

@@SixStringShredder No problem man. I enjoy helping new players to dodge some of the for coming pitfalls that many players fall into at certain periods of stages of playing. There are 3 great lessons that are great hear on youtube to help boost your fretboard and musicality. - Marty Friedman has a video on using the fret board in different areas to add a lot of texture to your playing and song writing . -The one with John Mayers teaching about using the equator on the major and minor scales - Mark Tremonti has a great lesson I use for warm ups. Using a 2 not diatonic run across 2 strings. It helps a lot for boosting your pinky playing ability while mastering hammer ons and pull offs. Check em out. I think they will help you a lot at the stage you are in. It will make learning new things much faster while gaining accuracy.

If you haven't already, start looking at scales and the relationship between notes. It seems like you can play a lot of stuff, but can you improv and jam? Once you can recognize the key of a song, you can use scales and the relationship of whatever the root note is to just jam along in your own style. Wish I would've known that years ago.
