i think some of Kirk Hammet's solos are overrated especially the later ones. i saw Smells like Teen Spirit in Guitar WOrld's list of the hundred greatest solos, which i think is bull****. adn i think Yngwie's later stuff is overrated, but his early stuff kicks ass
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.
