I started to play guitar when I was about 15 years old , bought myself a few guitar books at the music store and I thought it was all I needed to be on my way of becoming a great guitar player. Few months later I got discouraged and put the project aside until I was 20 years old. Coming back from Vancouver at that time, my two brothers had started a band and wanted me to join in so I did. I got myself a nice brand new Ibanez electric guitar a fender tube amp and started to rehearse with them. We were playing a lot of Beatles and Elvis music back then.
Later on the group direction changed to a much harder sound learning cover songs of well know hard rock metal bands like AC/DC, The Scorpions, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne and more. I really thought my guitar playing needed to some improvement since I was named the lead guitar player of the band , by the way our group was called "TZAR" . If I wanted to duplicate lead guitar solos by the world's greatest guitarists, specially the amazing guitar solos of the late Rand Rhoads of Ozzy Osbourne, I had my work cut out. I had to learn all these hot pentatonic scales that are extremely popular,
So I purchased some metal guitar magazines and found a small ad advertising "how to heavy metal lead guitar like your guitar heroes”. I received the course and cassette, yes not cd or dvd or videos 15 days later and I got busy. Really busy just learning and implementing the new material until my finger bled. I was determined to play like the pros and so I did. You can have a listen at some of the tracks of the album " players of the game" by TZAR and you will see what I mean.
