Very nice.

I used to play a little acoustic when I was younger and had talent, but always with borrowed guitars. I've been wanting to get an electric lately at 40+ years old to mess around with just for MY pleasure and I am curious.

Do you guys sound these out, or is there a tablature of these classics? Do you need to know how to read music etc..

Looking for some head start on learning and re-learning some of the classics. Used to do folk and Jazz on acoustic, but had a knack for improv leads.

@Databyter Im 49 heading towards 50, but when I figured this solo out I did it be ear. Tablature wasn't to popular back then. If I were you I would use a combination of both.

@Databyter

Hey, I can only recommend to get guitar pro (version 5 works fine too for that) and download and play to so many songs you love and like until you can literally think in tabs (sounds extreme) this helped me for instance a damn lot!

Actually, I learned the "whole" music theory from gp5 and I'm so happy about it. If you have fun with that (and it is fun ;) ) you'll see it's not too hard to sound things out (as long as you can repeat it as often as you like :D )

Have fun, Cheers

@80sMeavyHetal I use many methods to learn myself, I use to do it all by ear. I use pdf books, Guitar Pro , Power tab, Video lessons, and I also use windows media player to slow things down when I am having issues with a fast part. I use to use reel to reel machines back in the 70s everything would be one octave lower which made it pretty tough windows media player works great for slowing things down now. Guitar Pro is a great tool I have to agree with 80sMeavyHetal.

The playing is great, don't listen to ,,guitar no-lifes", they play around 23 hours/day, and they hate everything around.

Great playing, everyone has got different feeling.

The only thing I can judge here, is the sound. Sounds beautiful, but very digital.

@Seledin16 I think I may be in the Matrix.

Nice. I love watching vids of this solo cus every one puts their own spin on it

[danspratt2]

when you turned the volume down on the guitar for a cleaner sound, that was epic :P

NICE NICE NICE NICE SOUND MAN

@80sMeavyHetal Thanks for your advice. I took a gander at that program and it seems complicated. But I'm sure after I get back into the swing of music it will all be useful. Right now I am trying to learn what electric Guitars will be good choices for me. I never had an electric back in the day. Just acoustics. Now I have a sharp learning curve at Best Buy.

@markmusicman Thanks for the advice. I'm looking into guitars now but I am ignorant about electrics.

Where could i get the backing track ?? thanks in advance :)

[jmanhogan]
