this isn't my first time posting...but i posted a long time ago. i've been playing for less than an year i guess...i dunno, maybe 9 months. im having a lot of fun with random lead lines and riffs, i've been playing a lot of bach sonantas and stuff. i've been working on metallica's call of ktulu for the past month maybe, and i more or less got the riffs down, and i wanted to start on the solo but it seems like way too much right now. my main problems stiill seems to be chords, i can play open chords and stuff when im just practicing, but in a song they always sound bad, even power chords sound bad when i play in a song, and i've been working on barre chords for months and i don't think im getting anywhere.

anyways...comments, suggestions, flames...all welcome.
