Still playing guitar. Finger and hand strength slowly returning and re familiarizing myself with other songs that I had down before my force hiatus from playing. Started working on "Stairway To Heaven" as well. Yes I know it's a sin for any guitarist to play it, but it is a good way to work on barre chords and finger picking. Re-familiarized myself with the solo to "Sweet Leaf" which means I can play it in full solo and all. The solo isn't up to speed, but will get there as I practice. Will be attempting to learn the solo parts to "Iron Man" in the very near future. It is a bit harder and more technical than the solo in "Sweet Leaf", but I'm sure I can eventually get it down as it is still based around the pentatonic scale. Started learning the opening basic riff to "Symphony of Destruction" as well.
Playing the guitar really makes me happy and content. I just wish I could learn it faster or was able to play eight hours a day. I'm currently getting in one and a half to two hours in each day. I'm hoping as my arm and wrist endurance increases I can increase it to about three hours a day, which is what I was playing, chopped up into two practice sessions each day, each day. I posted a small audio upload to facebook of me playing during practice. I'm thinking of doing it again and as I get the songs to full speed actually uploading video of me playing songs. What do you think of that? "Sweet Leaf" will most likely be the first one I do when I do it.
Hopefully things in the real world will come down and allow me the luxury of fully delving into my guitar play. Until next time keep it real and keep it metal \m/
