hey dave, got a question for ya...

[~King~SNake~]

how did you build your arsenal of chops? when you were starting out playing guitar...did you read books? did you listen and try to copy what you heard?

i have a problem when i'm listening to something and trying to copy what i hear...i can pick up licks from what i hear, but an hour later, i forget them

can you give me some pointers on how to build my chops more efficiently?

oh, another thing that i have trouble with is learning a whole piece of music...i start out really focused...learn a lot of it, but somewhere inbetween i go off into my own little world and forget about what i was supposed to be doing...

is that just a lack of concentration? maybe i have ADD or something. lol

One way I build my riff library is to pick a key, scale, style, then write some riffs and many variations there of.

Can't learn a song all the way through b/c of a lack of attention? Sounds like you're just not that interested in finishing it. IF you were, you would. Know what I mean? I'm not a big believer in ADD.

i'm gonna write it down too, that way i remember what i'm doing...lol
