A site I don't know a book I do. It is called the guitar grimoire. These are actually a series. If you get the one for scales though, man it has every scale you can possibly imagine and quite a few yah probably can't. Ever heard of the japanese kumoi scale? lol

anyway the book is written by adam kadmon and it costs about 20 bucks

lindsey buckingham from fleetwood mac, he has a really unique style. Cool stuff, if you can get your hands on the songs Big Love and Go Insane from "The Dance" it is definatly worth you time.

what you guys are talking about is called a plateau

they happen in a lot of activities
one where it happened to me is working out
you get bigger and bigger, lifting more and more weights and then all of a sudden you start not getting any bigger
the trick with working out and also with guitar is to switch it up
while doing a bench press, instead of seeing how much weight you can push up, have a spotter help lift heavy heavy weights up for you, and see how much you can let down.....

just a little analogy for ya

same goes with music
ive hit several plateaus playing guitar

the best thing to do to start progressing again is to try a new style
in my plateaus ive tried such new styles as blues, funk and yes, even metal. i hate metal but i got a lot better by learning how to play it. try switching up styles and getting better at everything instead of focusing on one thing, and youll get a lot better as a whole

hope that helps...

that's true..keeping a veriety of different styles does permit a person to progress excepetionally. and it also allows you to create your own style as a musician with the versatility of music you can display.
