1.Like anything in life you will only get out of it what you are willing to put into it.
2.Always approach the guitar with the mind of a beginner. There is always going to be something you can learn to be a more complete musican. 3.Play with your ears not your eyes. 4.Learn the neck. Take the time to know where all the notes on the neck are. You will only be helping yourself and the others you will be playing with. 5. Worry about being the best player you can be and not about being better then someone else. |

Some theory I have is that it is entirely possible to learn any song you want, it all just depends on how much time and effort you're willing to put into learning it.

i often listen to other artists i love (john butler excellent!!!) and listen to how they play and rather than learning the song they play, i use it to inspire me to write my own music

Really, seriously relax. Ever since I've actually put a little bit of thought into how much tension is in my arms, my playing has improved tenfold.

competition is good. when a friend of mine is better than me, i practice hard till i get better than him, then i keep practicing trying to get as good as someone like marty friedman, which works quite well cause it would take a long time to get as good as that, so i consider that competition

1. Practice
2. Play along with songs (my own personal way of learning and good for improvising) 3. don't think when playing, just do it

My uncle told me that its the picking dynamics and the way you hit notes (slide into them, vibrato, slight bends etc) makes the difference between men and boys in the guitar world. Its the greatest piece of advice i've ever recieved.

Don't just play scales and chords and stuff, play songs that you like as well. It made me want to carry on playing guitar, and it stops you from getting bored.

Shredding is over rated.
As soon as someone told me that I saw the light. I mean obviously it's another style of playing but once someone told me that I realised I could be considered a good guitarist by being interesting. That's why I use odd chord shapes and worship Omar Rodriguez-Lopez
