Hi guys, I'm 21 years old and I've been playin for about year and some odd months. I just started playing again few weeks ago after about 3 years of not playing. I'm into punk rock bands like Strung Out, Good Riddance, Pennywise, etc. I'm pretty decent at rhythm, but I really want to learn bad ass solos. I can play lil solos, but not the ones that seperate the gods from mere mortals ;) At least not yet. I'm wondering if its too late to get real good though.. How long does it take to get good at playing our instrument? I mean real good. I've never taken lessons, but if they would help alot and not be too expensive I'd consider taking some for awhile. I don't know, but for me guitar is fun as hell to play, it's my escape from everything. Sounds cheesy, but I'm serious. I love just jamming, working on a song, or just making up my own stuff. Well, its nice to find a site for semi newbies like me, so I won't feel dumb about asking ?s like how to do harmonics and what not. Take it easy
