Playing lead is so fun. I love it. Especially shredding.

I have a friend who can shred like no other. I bring over my acoustic and my amp, and I play a sort of slow minor thing, and he just goes to town. Average jam length, 10 mins.

I can just play syncopated pentonic lead kind of things. Sound funky as hell, but nothing to brag about. I dont have the finger spead and imagination to play lead. Im sure after a while, Id be playng the same stuff just over and over again. Plus, playing rythm is so much more fun.

I just learned Fur Elise on the guitar. Right now I'm writing riffs.

Sweet! One of my best friends can play toccata and fugue in Dm on his guitar. I play lead and shred with the harmonic minor scale and it is a friggin orgy.

I'm trying like hell to learn that last jam of STJL, it's such a bitch to switch up chords for that, but I'm getting there. That's what I'm working on right now. Just learned My Immortal by Evanescence on my acoustic about a week ago, I need to keep playing it, or I'll forget it faster than I learned it :?

I worked on it for like three months straight.. that's all I did was try that song.. Get home... play it... cuss at my guitar... cuss at my fingers... annoy people telling people I'm learning stream, so fuck off. I was so proud of myself when I could play it straight through and it had it right.

It's good times. Though I'm still having a little trouble getting the fingerpicking pattern on the opening part down.
