Hi everybody,

Been playing guitar for many years, but only recently started practicing seriously. I'm intermediate when it comes to technique, but got very basic theory knowledge. I'm currently practicing all speed/metal related exercises like hammer ons, pull offs, legato, alternate picking, economy picking, and also a bit of blues theory and exercises.

My question is, if anybody can help me: What do I concentrate on on a daily basis and how do I allocate my time to practice efficiently? My goal is to play Kirk Hammett and Dimebag Darrell style solos one day. I really love the techniques they both use, especially Kirk. If I can play the No Remorse solo (still can't get that technique right at fast speeds) and Cowboys from Hell solo (half way there) then I've achieved something I could have only imagined.

So, does anybody have any advice or Guitartricks links that could help me reach my boyhood dream? ;)

Thanks!
