Well, basically the 1st 2 months, I began playing Hendrix's stuff (thought poorly). I learned most of the basic techniques (pull offs/hammerons/legato/alternate picking/whammy abuse) Then I went through tons of cream stuff.... Then went on to metallica... I started playing stuff like "Jump in the Fire", and "The Four Horsemen" about the 6th-8th month..... Then I learned a bunch of pentatonic scales and started shredding on those (pretty easy lol)

Right around them, I learned pinch harmonics, and I recently learned sweep picking.... and I'm not yet comfortable with right handed tapping.

I'm starting to explore more on musical theory. Please tell me what you were doing during the 1st year of playing, and what you went onto do, and what you're doing now!!!!

Love guitars!!!! Just ANYTHING to fill my head with awesome thoughts of guitars!!! :D :D
