Hey,
I'm 21 years old, guitarist for 5 years, essentially playing Metallica, Pantera, Gun's n Roses during this 5 years. But my musical tastes have evolved.
Today I listen to Dream Theater, Chelsea grin, Born Of Osiris, Periphery, Meshuggah, Veil Of Maya, Job for a cowboy, and band like BMTH, Of Mice and Men, etc...
The most inspiring guitarists for me are John Petrucci, Jason Richardson and guys like Jeff Loomis or Stephan Forté. I'd like to be able to play their songs, but I can't....
So....I'm going to present you the problem which I meet for several months...
I've several problems concerning solos, rhythmic and composition.
Concerning solos, I'm not able to play the solos I shall like playing. In spite of my 2 hours of guitar a day minimum, I find that I don't progress, I stagnate. Nevertheless, I learn songs and solos with the metronome
I am more and more frustrated because I can't play the songs I like, so I have to play easier songs but they don't interest me anymore...
Therefore, I've some troubles with composition. I'm not able to write riff that i would like to play because of my poor skills....
How do I proceed?? Do I have to learn songs which exceeds my level? Very very slowly? And increase 1 bpm by 1 bpm, or after a moment I am always going to surround because the song is far too hard for me?
If it can help, py practice routine is:
I/ Warm Up
-Stretching - 5/10 minutes
-Left hand stretching: 2 exercices, 5 minutes each exercices
-Synchronisation of both hand: chromatic exercices: 2 exercices, 5 minutes each exercices
-Left Hand Warm up: Legato, 2 exercices, 5 minutes each exercices
-Right Hand Warm Up: Alternate picking, 2 exercices, 5 minutes each exercices
II/ Learn a solo/lick/song>>>> No precise time
III/ Get back on a technique which is lacking.
IV/ Improvisation>>> no precise time
V/ Composition>>> no precise time
If it can help too: concerning solos, the problem start approximately at 90 bpm until 120 bpm at 16th notes (I can't play above 110-120 bpm)
HELP ME!!!!
