So I was driving around today listening to some of the more rock oriented OCR and DoD tunes, and I decided that it's time I finally learn to do some of that crazy stuff myself.
To clarify, I'm not a complete guitar noob. I've been playing casually for many years, and I'm very comfortable with simple strumming and fingerpicking of all the basic chord shapes. It's just the second I try to do a solo, melody, or rhythm part that isn't just chords. It's not that I can't get my fingers to move in the right patterns... it's just that I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing.
The way I generally learn an instrument is to play a few songs I like over and over until I feel comfortable with them, then I move on to something else. So I looked at some guitar tab websites to try and pick out a few songs I liked, but the problem is that most of the stuff is really inaccurate... Anyone have some OCR or other remix tabs that I could practice with?
I guess I just really don't know where to start. Are there some scales I should be learning or something?
