For guitar teachers, students and everyone in between.

I'm somewhere in between. Even if I was good enough, I probably wouldn't be a great teacher.

That said, this guy Shred - just blew my mind a little, because I've always known this was a great solo by Marty Freidman, but never truly understood exactly why, and this dude explains it perfectly.

Keeping in mind that Dave Mustaine's rhythm and vocals carry the melody of
Marty's lead ( which he wrote - give him credit for it)....as Shred explains very well - and on an acoustic !

My favorite guitar teacher is ME. I teach at home, online, and in a music store.

So far, all I see in this thread is shredding and heavy metal. To really be a well-rounded guitarist (both electric & acoustic), one could play a variety of genres of music (Rock, Blues, Country, Bluegrass, International songs, popular songs/tunes. They could play both rhythm and lead guitar. They could play with a flatpick, and excel at fingerpicking. They could play by ear, not just from written pages.

It doesn't get more well-rounded than Tim Pierce , but I get what you're saying.

It could get somewhat more well-rounded, if you play other string instruments, in addition to the guitar, as the playing of one instrument often enhances the playing of another >>

One of my favorite guitarists....
A song off his 'There's Hope' album -- listen to his palm-muting chicken-picking ....I'm not exactly sure how he does it .

WTF is he talking about?

At about 15:25 in the video he says F# is a half step away from E. That's wrong. F# is a whole step away from E.

I think he was referring to coming down from an F# bend to F then hammer-off down to E.
