Justin Ho not Oh. Yes he teaches metal, in fact it's his forte.

Possibly, depending on what you wanna learn. Might learn a thing or two about improvising seeing he majored in Jazz at Berklee

wow...crazy assed stuff...and LEARN HOW TO NOT PLAY? what the mean?

Don't overplay, play to complement the rythm section. Sadly, a dying art.

thx for MOST of the replies...yeah i have developed some feel over the two years...but...i still feel i'm lacking...some dude i just met...just played for one year..and he's already shredding and tapping...huh?!

haha bro sounds like me man we just met and went jamming last week rite? haha eh no la. slowly la bro. relax and take more stuff in ur stride. i feel phasing is more important and i only use speed at a certain "sweet spot". it really gives ur sound the edge. nt shredding the whole song it can sound damnm boring.

haha rock on bro....just keep practicing, rmb, musicality is more important than virtuosity. Kirk hammet plays all the solos, but james hetfield writes them? goes to show musicality is more important.

Stay cool bro,

..it's easier said than done. guitarists definitely have the worst ego when it comes to this, but there are definitely times when the most fitting guitar part for a song or a section of a song is nothing

 

[ShredCow]

Its like... Ronaldihno in the world cup!

 

[AEnimic]

hahaha yeah Ronaldinho...eh wait...maybe was helping brazil to a certain extent....reflecting the sun light to the opposing keeper's eye with his teeth

but he's a great player...tons of respect for him

 

[ShredCow]

Support lah... haha... leave the striker position to someone else, and know your role.

wow daniel thats a damn good analogy

 

[fgl]

u gotta develop the feel dude.............I make that a point to take note before I pick up my guitar each time, so that I can improve myself...

Play along with your idols on your CD....study the notes they use, learn their tricks on how to apply the scales in different ways...

Blues pentatonic scales can sound really good if you choose the notes wisely too, less is more!


But most importantly is the feel, nobody can teach you that.


U gotta Listen!

Good luck

best damm advice I've read so far.....

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

When it comes to playing with feel.. I have one guy to recommend:

David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. That guy has amazing restraint too. Just listen to 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond'. You get what I mean.
