GUITAR THEORY MODES
Where do I go next with my guitar playing?
Ok so I’ve been playing guitar for about 2 and a half years, I’m a pretty advanced player, I can play a lot of Led Zeppelin, solos and all, I have tonnes of influences including a lot of rock and blues. I know how to create solos with my pentatonic scales and I know all my major scale modes and I’m into all the advanced chords. I’v recently come to a standstill in my playing right when I started to get really serious about being a musician when I grow up. I’m bored of playing all the songs of my favorite bands, people always tell me to make my own, I know the theory and I know what I want to hear but nothing sounds all that great or worth repeating. It’s hard to explain over yahoo, I’ve had lessons but he was the only guy offering lessons in my town and he ran out of stuff to do. Where should I go next? I’m 14 and I’ve played in a band and we even played a few gigs because they liked us but it wasn’t my kind of music, all modern 3 chord bores. Please help
Well unfortunately for your age, there is not a good chance of finding other people your age that like the same music as you (i’m assuming you like classic rock… knowing how to play zeppelin…). try to write your own stuff AND RECORD IT. if you record it and you find things you don’t like, you can always change it and add on to the things you do like. use an old tape recorder or a cell phone… anything that records so you can go back and see what you like and don’t like. try to find people to play with that have the same taste in music as you, and find people who are just as dedicated and motivated as you. and always be open to listening to different types of music… new or old. you may be surprised to find what may inspire you.
