Well, I was playing guitar the other day, and I stuck in a Metallica dvd which i had just recently bought a few days ago. And i noticed as kirk was soloing, he didn't even have to take a glimpse at his guitar to see where he was on the strings.

My question is how do you play without have to look at where you are on the fretboard???

I watch a lot of people in concerts and notice that they don't have to look much at their hands or whatever either, like i saw eric clapton on snl and he was amazing moving his hands all over the place with his eyes closed!!

I practice a lot and play lots of metallica and still whatever i do i cannot play without looking. even the rythm parts can mess me up. Can anyone tell me how to do it??!!?!
