wow.. you guys have a lot of good advice.. funny, I just got a few tips on practicing I didn't even know I needed and I read the post to help someone else! :D

I would suggest these 2 sites..
www.guitarknowledgenet.com some dude Mike Lyndin made the site and I think it's one of the best learning resources I've seen so far
(guitartricks.com excluded of course :cool: )

the other would be
www.worldguitar.com
they have a jam section that a few people posted to (I know, I know guitar tricks has one) but there is a bada** blues jam on there that I LOVE!

Good luck dude, keep us posted on your progress...
