I know this is REALLY off-topic, but I trust you as guitarists (in general), and I need you to help me out a bit. A friend of mine has been playing electric guitar for a couple of years now, and can already pull-off Guns 'n' Roses solos and stuff. He's learned via about.com, and justinguitar.com, and other similar sites. But, he feels that he's gotten to a point where he's stuck, and just not learning on his own anymore. He doesn't want to get a teacher, but prefers to use online resources to teach himself. He says the style he wants to learn is classic rock (guns n roses, led zeppelin, pink floyd, ac/dc).
What websites / DVDs do you suggest? Is there an Oscar Herrero Paso a Paso series for electric guitar?
What do you learn, in general, in electric guitar, after you've learned the techniques? In flamenco, you have palos, cante, baile, etc. to learn OTHER than techniques. But what about electric guitar? (we're not talking about a professional here, of course) I see it to be like classical guitar: once you learn the technique, it's then boils down to expanding your repertoire...
Well produced video's with tabs and backing tracks.
You can subscribe to monthly plans or you can buy the DVD courses.
They are all categorized into styles, blues rock jazz acoustic etc....
Send him the link, he'll be like a kid in a sweet shop.
NB. A tip for locating all the video's from the homepage click the TFTV at the top and then select the Guitar Lesson Library. From there select the genre you're interested in and all the courses will be detailed.
They give a Sample of each course so you can get an idea if you'd like it. With some of the membership plans you get full access to every lesson.

RE: Self-learning electric guitar (in reply to rombsix)
I have a book that is really helpful . It's called Zen guitar , not necesarily for electric guitar . It helps with inspiration . Very good if you are teaching yourself and have an open mind .
RE: Self-learning electric guitar (in reply to rombsix)
i learned a lot from lick library. but honestly i always had the best results just searching google and youtube videos, for each topic i wanted to study. and i used the contents page from guitar books as a reference
how far along is his technique? depending on what music he likes, maybe he would enjoy learning some of the shred techniques. people like paul gilbert, john petrucci and yngwie malmsteen have lessons that take most people years to learn
RE: Self-learning electric guitar (in reply to rombsix)
hey rmb , hope all is well.
id suggest guitar techniques, and or guitar one if its still about - they are really good as they offer a vast array of styles, all of the styles really.
but based mainly on rock, there is also extra columns which are really useful and some decent articles about practice or specific techniques
