I'm here to pick the brains of the people here who are better than me.
I can honestly say that I think I'm a very good player. But one thing I can't ignore anymore is learning at least SOME theory. But I wanted to start by learning theory that is geared towards the type of guitar I want to ultimately learn to play. My biggest influences are guitarists from the 80s. Nuno Bettencourt, Warren Demartini, EVH, etc. I want to learn to do what they do. I've learned a lot of it, but I'm not satisfied with where I'm at now. I've avoided learning the common scales, patterns, keys, etc. that they write and play in.
I was just wondering if anyone here could share some insight into what scales, patterns, techniques, etc that I should be studying/practicing to progress towards this type of playing. I appreciate any info and will probably have more questions as this thread goes along.
