teachers are good. i've never had a lesson in person, but i'd love a good teacher. it's not about how much you struggle as an indication of necessity, it's about how much you gain from fresh perspective. randy rhoads took a lot of lessons even after becoming a guitar hero on the road. he took lessons in all the towns they stopped in...even though usually he was beyond the teachers. he definitely saw value in practical training. get a teacher if you're able, what's better, pride or skill?

covers on youtube seem to fall into this category. They play with the backing track super loud to block out their playing yet seem to think they are amazing...most of these people seem to be self taught, a teacher would have pointed out their mistakes and told them how to get over them.

So yeah, it is possible to learn on your own but much MUCH better to learn with a GOOD teacher.

@TheMetalHeaD256 if ur talking about stuff like cryptosy modern necrophagist obscura and NIle ill have then ur kinda wrong these is really technical stuff

if ur talking about black veil brides and a7x their not metal their fing posers that dress like little girls and have very small talent

if ur talking about kreator and exodus and thrashmetal well thats most riff based but still the solos follow a basic key or some sorta formatstill kinda techincal but mroe lets kick asstype

[emilio124567]

@TheMetalHeaD256 to actually judge him u have to atleast see him live to understand how good this guy is

and btw in most live preformance theirs always gonna be diffs betweem the recording that doesnt mean he screws up also remeber that the sound in a recording is diff live so that could be it but this guy is total guitar god

[TheMetalHeaD256]

@emilio124567 ok, i've been proven wrong i guess. but in a lot of his performances on youtube i've seen him screw up. it may always be that it sucks playing guitar and singing at the same time... i've discovered that recently. it is hard as shit. he might not have had trouble during a solo for that reason: he can focus on his instrument alone.

so yeah that proves me wrong. thanks for telling me.

[TheMetalHeaD256]

@emilio124567 nah, he'd agree with me. Maiden always stayed within a scale. i'm talking about modern day metal. and i'm not saying any of that stuff is a bad thing.

[emilio124567]

@SlayerKillingFields alot of metalheads actually study classical musica take cliff burton rhandy roads or chris brodrick well atleast great musicians do

[emilio124567]

@TheMetalHeaD256 tell that to dave murrey and ull get slap in the face

[emilio124567]

@TheMetalHeaD256 wowowowowo i swa him live 3 weeks ago im sorry but if a 10 minutose solo between him and warman isnt good then u tell me

bbtw most of the amps were failing and he stilled playd awsom

[LOKOLOKO52]

@evilpoptartz7 he know much more then you think about music theory...but he doesnt give a shit about the way he calls them

[TheMetalHeaD256]

@evilpoptartz7 i mean just look at Slayer... need more be said? hahaha. and yeah i definitely agree with you. Alexi can't play too good live because he's stoned and drunk out of his mind. he's the modern-day Dave Mustaine.

[TheMetalHeaD256]

@evilpoptartz7 yeah metal music is not necessarily based off of music theory in a normal sense. it's basically doing whatever, with whatever scales, and whatever chords you want. you can break a lot of rules. you can change from minor to phrygian in a snap if you want, you can play minor intervals when they should be major, etc. the routes of the chords are from the scale you're in, but no one stays COMPLETELY tonal anymore. so no REAL knowledge of music theory is needed to play metal.
