Hello.
I am not new to guitar, but my learning was unorthodox.
I learned mostly by myself, as teachers tended to keep me "stuck".
Once I found a good teacher he sadly quit after a year.
I started learning via tabs mostly, and watching videos of "how to" on techniques.
However, after many years of playing, I hate to admit I'm not where I want to be with my playing.
Most metal solos and complicated rhythms (complex string skipping for example) I am unable to play.
I tried following many online guitar teachers (Bernth, Paul Davids etc) and tried practicing more "hardcore" style.
I however noticed even months of grinding different exercises 3-4 hours a day using a metronome, my speed didn't go anywhere after a week.
I tried different exercises, different styles, taking a break once in a while.
How do you get past the plateau ?
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Sorry for the long post.
