This thread has been a good read, may there be many more like it!

From my persective I have always wanted to play like Frank Zappa, Rory Gallhager and many more.

As an older learner 59 now and have tried and failed a few times over the years, one problem is just as you really need to start playing with a band you realise that all the bands that are at a similar level of playing are probably all 15 year olds and of course that is never going to work.

I am trying again and so far liking the structured approach that GT brings and seem to be doing okay and filling in areas I was misssing with my less than ideal teachers in the past that I do think led me down the wrong path which is one reason I gave up, though it was mainly down to me.

I wonder now if I should be learning a different genre of guitar music as I will never play in a band now, though that is the music I have always loved but to what end can I progress in at home?
