I thought it would be pretty cool to compile a list of cool guitar videos.
Anyone has more videos to share? Please post them here? : P

I heard he wrote the riffs for power rangers as well. Absolutely love that opening.

You should practice with punk songs as they are real heavy on palm muting.

One of my favorite songs to learn palm muting was actually All the small things by blink 182.

You might want to consider using guitar pro 5 to learn the songs. Its quite easy for someone to learn and play along songs with that software.

Ultimate guitar has several versions of this tab there.

I think both are relatively important. Standard Notation is like a universal form of music communication whereas tabs is speciffically towards guitar playing.

Try using guitar pro 5 for learning songs and practicing sight reading. It enables both tabs and scores to be played at the same time.

Every day, at least for 15 minutes. I think consistency in guitar playing is important to prevent myself from going rusty.

LOL... the author has something against heavy metal

I think it provided a great insights to how X-men came about. I still remembered when I watch the X-men cartoons, I had no ideas how the mutants came together.
