Hi, I just found Guitar Tricks!!! This site looks great! I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is John, I play Metal/Shred guitar.
I have been playing for about two years now. I don't play in a band, but right now, I am working on a guitar solo so I can enter the free Jackson guitar contest over at www.Stetina.com, so that is keeping me real busy. I worked through his Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar last year, and it is still my favorite guitar book.
I play a Jackson (RR3) and an ESP (Lynch Tiger) guitar. My amp is a Peavey Triple X tube head. I love Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, George Lynch, and Steve Vai. I can play some of their stuff, but I have trouble with a lot of the real fast stuff too.
Anyway, hoping ot learn a lot here, and meet other Metal guitarists.
