my topic got pretty big ( i think it reached 50 replies or so)- it was about the level of dedication it takes to become a great guitar player. now, theory is VERY important. you dont have to get too deep in it, but if you want to be a great lead player, you need to know the theory. Especially if you want to improvise. Im 14, picked up the guitar 11 months ago, almost. Now, i practice excessively, and i'd say im probably about as good as kids that started when they were 10 and are my age ( there are none aty my school though ). Practice is the most important thing, and you need it. I dont care what some ****er says on here, but you NEED practice. you need to know theory, scales, chord theory, all that. i cant believe you didnt go through that already, but its never too late.
im sorry if i sound harsh, i dont mean it if it sounds like that- one reason i dont use email...people think im bitchin at em if im really just discussing a topic (because they cant hear me)...
