I learned the Am pentatonic scale with my teacher already but I can work on not using my pinky
I explore palm muting with GO your own way
No particular interest in Metallica 's riff … I just learned the first one
Working on learning songs with power chords
I played exercices songs on YS ( part of the learning path ) and played No one like you by Scorpions but it was only part of the song
Still working on Heart shaped box
I dont know if its enough or if I need to learn anotherfull song
Just starting on palm muting with Go your own way by Fleetwood Mac
I dont have to work anymore but sometimes I like to do it just for the fun of creating something
