I've been playing the guitar for 5 or six years now. Can't read music and don't know anything about guitar theory. The only thing i know is what i like and what i want to do.
I need some help, because i rekon i've been stood at the foot of a brick wall for at least a year now. I need some help in learning scales that can allow me to utilise my fingers in the way i need in order to shred properly.
I usually listen to music and play by ear, but it's proper difficult to do anything about solos. I know all the rhythm guitar to Valley of the Damned and Sonic Firestorm by Dragonforce, but i can't do anything about the shred.
I'm currently trying to learn Evil Shred by Frankenshred, and there's absolutely no way i'm going to give up on it. What i rekon i need is a tab of the scales he's using, as i can't keep up with him, and my solo sounds ****e, because i don't know what notes to hit.
I know this post is all a bit confusing, but i'm incredibly frustrated over how i'm going to progress into a shredding machine after hitting this big ****ing wall.
If you can help me in any way at all, i'd be very appreciative of you.
Cheers,
Normski
