Did you already work through my chord inversions practice tutorials? Those will show you hundreds of variations on simple chords and progressions. Especially to get past just playing power chords.Originally Posted by: caponi14
And i have a real hard time learning all sections of my favorite songs...

Why? Are the parts too difficult? Do you need to pick some different songs that are more beginner level before trying harder songs? Do you spend time completely, totally memorizing one section to get it down before you move to the next section?Originally Posted by: caponi14Seems like the only advises iv been getting is around scales, iv tried that and it diden't work in the way i want it too...

In what way do you want practicing scales to work?
A private teacher is always worth trying. :)
[QUOTE=caponi14]i really can't belive that i have not even learned any full songs yet with the exeption of knocking on heavens door (guns N roses version)
And iv been playing 1 year now.
There are hundreds of other songs that have the same level and type of chords as in that song. Are you sure you've really been trying to find and learn other songs? And after a year of practicing many students only have the basics down and are ready to try more intermediate skills.
[QUOTE=caponi14]Am i trying too hard? 4 hour practice every day...
Exactly what are you practicing for 4 hours every day?!

Playing music is suppose to be fun, speaking the truth it's not fun for me. Just hard work, too hard
If you are not having fun, and it seems like too much work for you, then you might want to rethink how much you desire to learn to play music on the guitar.
Because, I am here to tell you: it is very long and hard work.
Playing music is one of the most wonderful things in the world. Anything that is worth so much is going to be hard work. And is going to take a long time to accomplish. So if you aren't in this for the long haul, now might be a good time to think about putting your free time to a different use.
But on the other hand ...
If you are really serious about playing the guitar, then now is the time to realize a few things.
1. Learning to play music is hard work.
2. It takes a long time to get exactly right.
3. Time will pass regardless of how you spend it, so it's best to put that passing time to good use than waste it.
What else are you going to do with your time? And as Paul Gilbert says, "What could be more fun than PRACTICING ELECTRIC GUITAR?!?!?"
