Can I Shred?
# 1
I think that only after a year of playin u shouoldnt be lookin for shredd. Alot of guitarists lack feel and sustaining each othwern from one another.... not jstr shredding up and down everywhere.
Before shredding id work on some stevie ray vaughn and jerry cantrell stuff... cuz that will give u a lil bit of a feel... so u can set the tone for the audience....
Remember shredding isnt what makes u good... its the way u sound that sets u apart (aka... stevie Ray Vuahgn, Steve Vai, jerry cantrell, jimi hendrix, Joe Satriani)

Keep at it dude, keep practicing and learn to ignore people who aren't offering constructive criticism.
Above all don't give up !

Better yet, record something everyone would be familiar with. Like an excerpt from a Zeppelin solo or something. I think that would be easier to judge, cause just running up and down a scale isn't hard to do fast with alittle practice. Knowing what your playing and playing fast is a true test.

That's somewhat disheartening. I can think of twelve songs that I can't play without distortion.

its not "practice makes perfect"
its "perfect practice makes perfect"
you can practice it all you want but if your doing it wrong then your never going to get better at it

Of course you are. There's no one way to play anything. Only posture is important. Everything else is up to personal opinion.

How about "feedbacking" , unplugged ? :p

Yea sorry about that. I was assuming perfect practicing meant there was only one way to practice. You were implying that if you have no clue towards a certain technique there's no point in even spending 5 minutes on it unless you know exactly how to perform it - then you're free to practice it all you want. I know what you mean though, but what about trial and error? That's how I work to figure out how to do something.
