I want to thank all of you that are giving me tips... all of you have helped me alot. and so far.. (i know this is going to sound kinda cheezy lol) I have memorised twinkle twinkle little star and Jingle Bells lol :D I know its way off from hard rock and heavy-metal but I'm getting there! Thankx Guys.

merry had a little lamb, jingle bells, when the saints go marching in, and that barney song were my first songs.. but then i was learning music theory which i highly recommend but yea those werent really rock/blues songs either.

:) lol...

this thing seriously makes me feel dumb lol how long do yall think it will take me untill i will be able to play a real song like enter sandman by metallica or Dracula by Rob Zombie? :)

it all depends on how much time and effort you put into it. i know i posted this somewhere else but..

joe satriani practiced 15 (fifteen) hours a day with a metronome as fast as he could when he was learning guitar. he practiced all his scales, modes, everything and memorised the whole fretboard (which i highly recommend) and thats why hes so good. playing good guitar is not an overnight success.

EDIT: he still practices 15 hours a day

0.o; Woah...lol ^_^ i only practice 6 to 8 hours... no wonder why i'm not getting anywhere :)
