I practise 3 hours each day i think, a little more a little less sometimes. And iv been playing a little over one year.
It's wired that i can't hear myself improving but everyone around me seems to hear it? My music teacher say's that i play like i have been playing like 3 years or something?

But i think it all comes down to when i practice, i don't think im doing it the right way?

I think i have done a mistake by focusing to much on just soloing until a little while ago when i realised, so lately iv been thinking about learning some more rythm playing. Since im a big fan of the way Slash plays guitar, i though about maybe learning all the songs from this album that Slash's Snakepit released in 1995 (It's five o' clock somewhere)
I think that if i learned those songs i would get a better understanding of how to make those chunky/biting blues and rock rythmes that he uses? And just get better at rythm in general, even the soloing i think whould improve alot if i got all of those songs down including the solos? but maybe it's a little too hard material? Am i completely wrong?

Anyone have any better ideas? Like what i should learn before moving into that albums stuff? Maybe start out with Appetite for destruction? (it sounds a little easier than the snakepit stuff)

I think im starting to realise how to do things on the guitar, maybe i just need the last push. Like telling me how to approach it all (sounds lame, but you know what i mean)

Thanks :)
