Tip #4- The Cream song you know is "Sunshine of your Love"

Tip #5- Heart has more than one popular song, but I'm going to assume you mean "Barracuda."

Tip #6- Push your limits by learning songs slightly too hard for you to sightread, but not so hard that you won't be able to play them with practice.[/Quote] Tip number two comment= Umm, Will do. I dunno what voicing and inversions are though. *Is sad*

[Quote=Fingers]heres the deal. dont start lead from songs, usually a downer when you practice a solo for a week and it still sounds like dog****. get a begginers book on lead guitar, i had one when i started playing, got it from my dad, and i still have it sitting with a stack of otehr books i still use. books like that can teach you easy lead parts that start from beginners roots and work themselves up.


get good and play guitar in a school jazzband or something. thats what i did. fun, but you gotta put up with band nerds. thats just the facts.

Beginners book on lead guitar *Writes it down in his head* i think I may have one laying around. *Ish excited now.*

And my school band/ Jazz abnd does not like guitar players I guess. I've asked they odnt like guitar players. lol
