I’ve been playing guitar for 2 1/2 years and I can play a lot metal riffs but when I get to the solos I can do any thing so what are good exercises to improve my fingers in that area. I also struggle with songs that have intricate rhythms, particulary megadeth songs. I know minor pentatonic, major and minor harmonic and minor melodic scales. I play mostly thrash metal songs.

well its good to frequently practice try some of these:

E |-15p12—12——————————————-
B |———-15–15p12—12———————————–
G |————————14—14p12—12————————-
D |—————————————-14—14p12–12—————
A |——————————————————14—14p12—12—–
E |———————————————————————-15—15p12
or

E |-0h2h3-0h3h5-0h5h7-0h3h5-0h2h3————————
B |——————————————————
G |——————————————————
D |——————————————————
A |——————————————————
E |——————————————————

This is part of the solo in Ride The Lightning
E |-19p15—15-]-17p14—14-]-15p12—12-]-14p11—14—-
B |———17—-]———–15—-]———-13—-]———12——-
G |————]————]————]—————
D |————]————]————]—————
A |—-4x——]—-4x——]—–4x—–]—-4x———
E |————]————]————]—————

its also good to "race" a metronome

hope this helps

I am taking a guitar class next semester and have the option of classical and jazz guitar. I know that the obvious answer is that with the jazz guitar you would play mostly jazz. But what differences are there? Is it a different technique? Different focus? Is one harder than the other or are they just different?

Jazz and classical are very different styles of guitar.

1. Jazz tends to be based a lot on improvisational techniques. You should know all your scales, and some jazz theory. Classical is based on interpretation and reproduction of music that is already written. The music will be right in front of you for this style.

2. Different guitars. That’s a big one. You might want to see if you have a classical (not an acoustic, a classical) guitar. Many people don’t.

3. Complete different techniques. If you play with a pick- you should do Jazz. Classical guitar does not use a pick at all. EVER. It is all done with the fingers on your right hand. Also, most classical guitarists spend years learning correct right hand technique on guitar, it is not something you just pick up and know how to do.

4. Since I know a lot of theory, I say that classical guitar is harder than jazz. However, if you don’t know theory but do know how to read music, classical would be easier for you.

The moral of the story here, is that they are very different. It mostly depends on what type of music you like more.

ive played the piano for 8 years, im pretty good. i wanna learn how to play the acoustic guitar now, but im clueless. like, completely clueless. can i get a good guitar for $200 or under? i dont really want to take lessons, because it will cost more money, but i wanna learn guitar really badly. is it hard to learn on your own? sorry i asked like a million questions but i am so clueless..

If you are just starting out, First Act, makes a decent, not great guitar. They are okay for a starter guitar and they are not expensive. A good guitar is going to cost a little, but I found it was worth it. I love my acoustic. It is a tough instrument to self teach with the cords, so take it slow and learn the basic fingering. That is what I did. Since you have music in your background it will help because you know how some things are supposed to sound. Guitar music is in treble clef so, if you can read that already you are off to a good start. Get some beginner books and/or dvds. They can help.
