shredding and tapping doesn't necessarily equate to feel.

if doing those things, make you feel better, then by all means.

But a better guitarist isn't one who has all the technique. It one who can compose, be a band player, be creative, be emotive, be able to connect with his music.

How many times have you heard awesome shred, then listen to it the 2nd time, only to realise its suddenly not so impressive? Heh.

hmmm shredding and those technical stuff are cool and impressive but it gets stale if the entire song is shred. i'd rather listen to bb king than rusty cooley.

go buy guitar techniques, learn the licks there and try to make them your own? everytime i learn a new lick i'll try to change it and see what i can get. play around with phrasing too. jam with a backing track.

oh and i guess you have to learn the basic scales. natural minor/major should be good for a start.

Yes, doing covers will definately improve your playing.

But never forget improvisation. Keep at it. There have been countless instructional vids, threads, forums, on how to improvise, so... read up, absorb, keep it in the back of your mind, and practice. Yes, practice improvising.

one thing nobody's mentioned..if you're playing in a band, learn how to NOT play. it's more important than most people think. speaking of bands, playing in a band with good musicians will definitely help.
