TJ, i mean Munqy - suggested i take up the acoustic guitar for finger strength and dexerity. But what else should i look at when trying to be a more accomplished player (like page, hendrix, rhoads, hammet...etc)

Where to go next
I'm new to this board and i've only been playing for a litlle less than a year (9-10 months something like that). I've never taken lessons untill a month ago - from a guy in my block & on this board called munqy (i think thats how u spell it). Well for someone that has been playing for a year, what is he/she expected to be able to play on the guitar and how well are they meant to do it. I've learnt the basic pentatonic scales up and down the fretboard ( For A minor, E and G) , phyrigian (spelling?) dominant, iolian(spelling), harmonic minor and things like that. what i can play is easy songs like stairway to heaven, and the intro to purple haze and all along the watchtower. I can play bits of voodoo child aswell, without the waa pedal though.

Phrygian
Aeolian
Thats that taken care of. You say you've learned scales and things like that. Once you get a real good grasp of that, start learning how different chordes are built, and sight reading, its good to be able to do that. Maybe build up your speed, running your scales or even just little chromatic fills with a metronome is good for that.

learn to improvise. you won't regret it (trust me...:D:D:D).
learn your Ionian (major) scales, too, since you know your phrygian scales, you already know a bunch of (or all; if you learned the #'s too) Ionian scales.

Locrian is a nice one too. Metal players use it to create those 'blackest of the black' riffs (as I call them) and you can also create some funky style solos with it. I picked that up from Guitarist magazine. Make use of the diminished triad as a chord.
If you want to know what it sounds Like listen to Rhoads play Believer on Ozzy's tribute album. He does a fast run at the end of the solo which is in Eb minor but is you play it the fretting gives you the equivilant of F locrian.

There's some site that like http://www.chordhouse.com or something like that, and it has probably every scale known to man. It has a bunch of 'em that I've never even heard of. I used to go there a lot when I just started playing, but I haven't been there lately, it might not even exist anymore.
Rock and roll ain't noise pollution, but it can get pretty crappy these days.
