Solo Guitar Challenges..

Post by PunkSteve »

hey... ive been learning lead guitar stuff for a bit now, and i can play a couple of solos & stuff... (the most advanced solo so far is probably 'Hooch' - sum41..) ....

anyway.., i was wondering if anyone knows of any really good 'how to play...' tutorial videos for any good solos? just so i can literally watch & play, and not have to keep refering to tab...!

they dont have to be extremely hard, just anything that's fun to play, or useful to learn..etc...

any help is gr8, thanks :)

honestly, this is the only way to learn how to play.

learn/look at guitar tabs of hard songs
play them really slowly....reallly slowly
then start to pick up the speed

and BAM you're good at guitar :winkwink:
