Question: Desperate, discouraged guitarist, plz help!!?
I have been playing guitar for 2 years and i have never been for lessons!. I have been fine until recently, i tried to learn the song paranoid by black sabbath, and i thought it was pretty easy until i got to the solo!.!.!. I learned the first part but then things started getting really fast and complicated!. Its been 3 months since i started to learn the solo and i am making absolutely no progress!. Things got even worse when i saw a video on youtube of a the paranoid solo, i have become very discouraged because i cant get one song right!. I am desperate to learn this song! Can someone please give me some helpful advice!? The problem is that there are no realy good teachers anywhere near to where i live!. I need as much help as i can get!. Absolutely anything, even if u just give me some scales to practice or direct me 2 a site that is realy helpful!.!.!. PLEASE!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hey mate i have been playing guitar for 3 years now!.

I can only sugest you!.

That you get a programme called Guitar Pro 5 trust me, i've got that and its worth paying £40!.00 for it!. because you can slow down the speed and eventualy play things faster trust me!. i leanr to play the cool part of Cannon in D by FunTwo!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

hate to tell you, all musicians are discouraged (frustrated)

ive been playing guitar for almost 3 years, i have lessons once a week with a great teacher (im sorry there arent any in your area)

and i also love that song! i play it all the time!. ive never tried to play the solo all the way through, but i can tell you that you should practice your minor pentatonic scales!.

Calm down! when you struggle, you learn, I have been playing for 20 years, I am an hobbyist and not real good but there's a song I have, different style by far but the SAME principals apply, Natalia is the name and Antonio Lauro is the composer!. I bought the music years ago and could get a few bars in!. YIKES! went BACK to the drawing board with a couple of EASIER tunes that lead me up to it!. I recommend going to an easier tune and increase you're skills a little more and try it again!. I can NOT play my song YET, but I can now play a couple other of this composer's tunes!. Soon I will return to Natalia and conquer the MUTHA!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
