The coolest guitarist before i heard of Steve was Slash!It was probably 1989 when i heard of Steve.Nevertheless Slash was the guy i wanted to sound like.At that time i hated all these technical guitarists.All i needed was a marshall and a Les Paul.Later on i heard about a record callled "passsion an...

Practice on small parts first.Start slowly and be precise.Each time you make a mistake start from the very beginning.If you can play a part ten times whithout any mistake,then gradually try playing it a bit faster.Don't hurry and remember:playing slowly is much more difficult than playing fast!Pract...

It can help a lot improving speed and precision!

Maybe you should try google.I've often found some good midi files for accompaniment.
Good luck!

I could suggest some nice sounding amps,but you know what sounds good to my ears may sound awful to yours. I've played/owned the following tube amps:5150,Mesa dual recto,slo 100,marshall jcm 800 and jcm 2000 dsl 100,laney vh 100r. For five years I'm using the dsl 100 'cause it sounds best to me and ...

Hi Jem, I know this post comes a little late but maybe it can help you. Ever heard of "Power Tab" ?Try this one: http://www.powertabs.net/pta.php?page=browse First download the program and then look for Vai.There're about 80 tabs for Vai.All of the tabs are not only written but you can actually hear...

OK!This changes a lot! I thought you used the DOD to push a tube amp's drive!This really doesn't work with a solid state amp.And it doesn't really make sense due to the way a solid stete amp produces drive/gain. You see there's always something to learn,so you don't need to feel like an idiot :) May...
