Symphony X 4beginner

[Väinämöinen]

Okay, i have played about two years of guitar (active 2-8h/day) and i have played much similar music to symphony x and i luv this band much. I would like to have some hints which songs i should play first from symphony. and also if somebody could tell what songs i should play for getting general exercise for things such as alternated picking, sweeps and arpeggios, etc. etc. Thanks...



p.s. Sorry for my bad english....

You should practise of sins and shadows and out of ashes

For alternate picking and the basics of sweep picking, get a copy of "Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar" by Troy Stetina and a Metronome.

stetinas books all the way man!!! i have metal rhythm and lead #1 and speed mechanics, and i swear by the end of all three of those books you will be a better guitarist! also look into petrucci's rock disipline, incredible book and dvd!

Hey Väinämöinen, we're almost neighbours... I live 64km from Lappeenranta...

I suggest you start with Of Sins And Shadows & Sea Of Lies or with any of the riffs on DWOT.
