callen3615 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Guitar is boring me. I havent learned anything new for about a week. Help me out here. I like classic rock, rock, and metal. Keep in mind I've been playing for 1 1/2 years so no john petrucci stuff please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hideaway. Either John Mayall's Bluesbreakers or Freddie King (the original). I remember learning that and feeling Oh So Satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Leslie West, the guitarist for Mountain, taught for a while. He said guitar players learn a lot in the first 2 years. From 2 to 5, they level out and don't improve much. From 5 on, they form their own style and continue to get better. You may have hit the stale 2 to 5 era early. I would suggest buying an effect or two to keep it interesting. Try a flanger, chorus, echo, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I find a good chord progression is always fun to learn and keeps you entertained for a while. It's kinda old, and some people might think it's wimpy but New kid In Town by The Eagles is a great progression and goes though a few key changes. There're also some really tasty lead fills thoughout the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlekenny Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 try some zeppelin, whole lotta love, the ocean, heartbreaker, black dog etc. All the other suggestions are pretty good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Get a chord book, generator, on-line or whatever and learn a handful of new chords and experiment with them. Now is also a good time to perhaps take the time and learn more scales like the melodic minor (unless you have not learned the majors - learn them first). For something fun try some old .38 special - hold on loosly or rockin' into the night. EDIT: For a solo how about Rush's "Lime light" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Is Dead In My Basement Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Iron Man by Black Sabbath has a good solo. Also try composing your own solos once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillageIdiotUsingShampoo Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 It's simple - write your own music. If that doesn't work, learn something really different like a totally random jazz song or something ( i dunno what your'e normally listening to so..) hope it works for ya.

wicked1 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Take up bluegrass. That oughta keep you busy for a while!! LOL Seriously, though, there's a ton of styles in the Zep catalog alone and plenty that should keep your interest. If you can figure out how JP makes that sound like he dropped his amp before he does the solo on "In The Evening," let me know! Of the things mentioned, my other suggestion is to try your hand at composing. If you don't want to write your own stuff, try mixing it up and improv your own solo on some stuff you've already learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
