The professional could you get you some great theory that could probably help a bit with the speed, but it still comes down to repetition. when I was in the navy, it was in the middle of nowhere, so all I did was practice since I didn't have a TV and was poor. I got to where I was getting really fast. could play alot of Satriani, EVH, Metallica, Zakk Wylde solos etc. and that was playing about 3-4 hours a night on the weekdays and probably 5 or more on a weekend. my speed has dropped off significanly; at least in terms of being able to rip through that stuff like I used to . My $.02

Sounds a lot like I am playing Guitar. I am terribly lazy with leads. 15 years ago a roommate and I started a band. I taught myself to play. Never one lesson. But a strong background in music percussion.
With no theory background playing lead becomes problematic at best. I would learn different scales but after the first measure starting the lead, making the next few measures never clicked. Basically could never make the fingers do what i heard in my head. Soon after our first few gigs our bass player couldn't devote the time needed to practice 3 times a week and do a gig, so I took bass duties and put guitar up. |

Grinding hard work to break through to the next level? I honestly don't like to think that there is a barrier that you can't bring with hard work, but I was never able to get past chords.

I get my tabs off of Ultimate Guitar. But I have the most fun with my Fender G-DEC. It has background tracks you can play along to.
I like Blues the most so I learned how to play pentatonic scales over any key. You just ad lib so it sounds great and it's easy.

I guess what I want is to be able to play 80's style solos, like Warren DeMartini in "Round and Round", I want to learn that solo. |

dude; if you have the technique to play SRV's rythym / circle chop and bridges etc, you can do Ratt, etc. It seriously is just a matter of repetition.
For me, I found my 'favorite' solo I wanted to learn in terms of guitar etc, and I Just ****ing killed it. playedd the **** out of it. another thing too is, to listen to the song over and over and over and over. You might think you 'know it' etc, but until you start listening from a 'guitar' perspective, you haven't listened enough. kill that shit bitch. check out some Poison solos....sounds ghey, but they are fun to play. same with Skid Row.
