Overall these sessions made me a better musician and a songwriter. Apart from sitting down and learning songs outside of the style I was interested, I also learnt the art of melody, better chord placements and vocal phrasing. I told him that I got that part covered and I would like him to show me songs that he likes regardless of what styles they are or from what artist they are. Michael asked me in advance to give him a list of hard rock and metal songs that I want to learn so that he could figure them out and show me. To cut a long story short, the lessons were structured on theory, rhythm, scales and it ended with the teacher (his name was Michael) showing me a song to play. My dad got the number of a teacher from a work colleague of his, who had has son visiting the same teacher. I was self-taught for about three years however my dad kept on pushing me to go to a guitar teacher. As far as I was concerned, it had to be all pedal point riffs, fast eighth or sixteenth notes and a whole lot of shred thrown in. When I started to play guitar in the Eighties I was obviously into the whole metal and hard rock scene.
