We can all learn from each other.
We play an amazing musical instrument. It's vertical, and horizontal. It looks simple, but it's very complex.

I'm a music theory moron, i don't have a clue what I do on the guitar. Yep, I know, that's pretty sad, you would think I would have learned something after all these years instead of completely relying on my ear. I have much to learn yet. Although i have not played any metal in almost 20 years you can still hear it in my playing. All the improvising I did on blues and rock covers was very aggressive and people would come up to me and say "you played metal didn't you". The very last cover band I was in believe it or not was country, it was very difficult for me in all aspects but I muddled through it. I will be keeping an eye on this thread.

i don't know Bill. the musical ear is the most important part of music. without it, one can have blinding fingers, perfect technique and have the creativity of a rock.
and Tommo, i'm sure you've got more than two bits. I might be able to find a quarter of musical knowledge somewhere. I'm sure between us we have a dollar lol

I was pretty good at pulling songs by ear. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't improvise everything but I took a few liberties here and there. I got to where I recognized the major and some minor chords listening. Since I don't have any theory on scales other then the pentatonic I recognized "patterns" in the playing which gave me a good start on copying songs. I regret not putting in more effort in that area.

i only barely "studied" guitar. i spent most of my time just improvising stuff. of course without a lot of different root sources for what i was improvising my playing can start to sound the same after a few songs.... but i guess htat's true of a lot of players and i'm told it's not necessarily a bad thing to be recognizable.
i can build chords. i just don't have much use for anything beyond a major, modal, or minor 7. i did chord inversions, in jazz, didn't much like it. my talents really lay in my writing :)i have a good vocab and can write about almost anything that pops in my head. had a half a song written bout taking about the garbage one day before i realized that it probably should be sent out with the rest of the garbage lol

I was thinking of a lessons type section so thanks to GT for creating it in my absence.
I would share my knowledge but, when it comes to guitar, I am an Edro and don't know nuttin'.

We all know Friggsley's fan of Steven Seagal's magnificently bad guitar playing. He also likes Lil' Wayne's mad guitar "skillz".
