There are many ways to progress as a musician, find one that appeals to you and do it.

no, i didnt mean that, i intend on getting better, and i wish i were (although that statement may have made it seem so)

but i'd rather progress naturally. i've never had a lesson in my life, and i intend to keep it that way.

Dude, you don't need lessons. Just buy his video

For surf music, lessons are unnecessary. Play consistently, and you'll just keep getting better.

Of course it's a horrible din though.... I mean, what sort of person eshews human contact in order to learn to play that fast and then, instead of going out and say, meeting girls or something .... stays in to learn to do the same thing left-handed.....

I blame the parents.

BWWWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!

That's too funny!

I'll stick with Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. As one who is classically
trained in music, even I admit that there is such a thing as TOO MUCH
talent--that is to say, when it gets to the point that the music is no longer
the focal point, but rather, the "look how fast I can play in obscure
modal scales and all these fancy chords I know" mentality.

Yawn!

That's NOT to say that I don't envy these guys' talents--if I could only
play 1/100th as well, I'd be happy with my abilities. But. . . I'll still
stick with Vai and Satriani--that's about as much "shredding" that I
can listen to and. . . well, listen to.

I completely forget who said it but I agree with the statement:

"The difference between a good musician and a bad one is that the bad one fails to communicate his emotion to the listener"

As soon as technique becomes the end instead of a means to an end then all is lost in my book.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being technically great as long as it serves the song. I guess Steely Dan would be my example of that: great musicianship but all focused into compact, concise, meaningful, musical and snappy songs.

i like the speed/sweep picking when it's incorporated into tune and carries some melody (say 12 bars between verses) but when it's ten minutes of it that goes nowhere, my attention is elsewhere.

It's funny how none of these shred clowns can write a song as catchy and memorable as "Louie, Louie" or "Teenage Lobotomy."

That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it.
