CSchlegel, I have watched all of fundamentals 1 and 2 and the rock fundamentals and a lot of the blues videos.
I do understand the Major WWHWWWH and Minor WHWWHWW. I think I pretty much have the CMaj and AMin diatonic scales down. It is just easier to learn the Pentatonic and just memorize the shapes/patterns. But I guess that is not helping to memorize the notes. I think I hear the sound much better than I remember where certain notes are. I always have to stop and figure out where and which note it is. I think I just feel like I should be soloing with slath when in reality I can play happy birthday. I have learned several AC/DC songs like Back in Black and Hells Bells and can keep up with Amazing slowdowner on 100%. Also Boston more than a Feeling and America Sister Golden hair. That one helped me to get faster changing between bar cords.
Anyway I think I am just looking for " THE ANSWER " you know how can I learn faster and what should I focus on and in what order. Anything worthwhile usually takes hard work and time so I guess I will keep plugging away. I have tried 2 different teachers for lessons but they have not told me anything or showed me anything that I have not learned on this site or Youtube.
Thanks for everyones ideas...
