1) Do you feel you have to learn stuff note-for-note exactly as per the record? When I was learning guitar (many years ago) it was a matter of pride NOT to play exactly the same as the record, but to put your own interpretation on a piece.
2) Who ARE you people? Every time I read a post on the site, I track the writer's profile, only to find no information! I don't want you to write "War and Peace", but please let us have some clues as to where you are and what you do when you're not playing guitar - just out of interest!
;) Reelin' in the years...
