oh god i practiced for 11 ... that is not a mistype ... 11 hours today.. i think its my longest yet. look i'm sorry for cryin all over you guys yesterday but i am very depressed .. lost my job blah blah ... i'm not the only one i know. but after practicing today i went back and tried riffraff(acdc) again ... before i just, guh, could not get my fingers around that main lick, and i tried alot of tabs and i'm not going to jerk yall one bit. out of 5 tabs and 1 vid lesson that covered the riff, only the vid lesson had it rite and the others were quite off. i could hear the open a repeatedly but nobody had it tabbed in .. this made it frustrating and i gave up.. had a couple beers hit it again at about 2:am and had it licked in like 5 minutes .. thats when i went back to ultimate-guitar and checked those tabs again .. yea..
its in our nature to question and i think alot of us aren't doing that enough. so i bid you, in my rut do what i did.. i went and got a "lesson" from a drum shop down the road that has a part time guitar teacher. this was about an hour after i posted this thread. i was able to point out not only he was sloppy but i know without any doubt this guy was hack.. he new it too and ya know what he told me after he seen what i could play? you don't need lessons you need to perfect your technique(did i spell that rite?) and he wouldn't take my money.. in truth i do know all the modes, all the penatonic positions and ya wanna know how i learned em on my own? with scotch tape and a black magic marker lol. so i'm going to learn some more licks because knowing scales is not everything when you don't know how to use them .. and that is what i've learned from this.. farewell friends, and i apologize again for coming on like a complete ass.
