Dead Winter
STAHP
HOLY SHIT, PEOPLE. There's nothing like a true beginner asking for advice and all the fucking guitar geeks coming out of the woodwork to bukkake him with their overinflated and self-important egos and obvious greater guitar prowess.
The only thing that guitarists love more than playing guitar is showing other people how much they know about playing guitar.
Dude, forget everything you just heard. It will come to you in due time. For now, learn Am I Evil? by Metallica. After that, learn Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth.
You'll know when you're ready to move forward.
If you want my advice, and you can take it or leave it, but learn riffs, not solos. Alternate time signatures, countertime, polyrhythms, etc. are much more difficult to learn than your average finger olympic contestant. Why? Because if you just play the same thing over and over and over again until you develop your muscle memory, eventually you will naturally get faster. With polyrhythms, odd time signatures, and such you have to not only fight with your fingers, you have to fight with your BRAIN. Hence, in my humble opinion, a really tight, able and good rhythm guitarist is more valuable than just another guy who learned sweep arpeggios in a few months and incorporates them into every single song without saying anything whatsoever.
David Gilmour has more to say in one note than Yngwie ever will.
