brutal mix between metal and hardcore (a.k.a. metalcore)
And I'm not beeing harsh about guitar lessons, ofcourse you can play guitar without lessons, but when you reach a certain level you won't progress anymore, if you take lessons the progression will go faster and you won't get stuck AND you'll learn your theory and techniques.
and about easy songs sucking, they do, who the fuck wants to play nirvana or offspring anyway.

im totally self taught, been playing one and a half years and without bein big headed i seem to know a lot more than those who have been taught in my local area... they say their teachers often limit them but i dont know, most is down to the actual effort YOU put in
i know scales, theory, songs, have good technique etc, and ive never learnt a nirvana or pop punk song
but yeah id get lessons to develop my techniques

yeah, okay but it does depends on what kinda teacher you've got, here in holland we've got special music school teachers, if you've got lessons at an music school, you'll get quality lessons, all those teacher play at E level.
highes you can reach thru lessons is D and then music college, that takes you about 6 years to reach D level.
I'm a C level myself, after 3 years so I'm a fast learner, but I did play 2 years without lessons before that, after 2 years I was pretty much getting bored, then I started to play all kinda styles of music, from jazz to samba from reggea to ska.

I was self taught for 6 years and didn't go anywhere.. because I just played the same shit over and over.. I got really good at the crap that I knew.. but I didnt' get any better.. Well I guess in a way I did.. I was about average .. Then about what 4 weeks ago I started taking lessons. And within the time i've started until now i've had 3 double time lessons because i'm moving and I already knew most of the theory stuff and i wasn't a beginner.. and i'm 300 times better than I was... All I needed was someone to point me in a direction and help me through the bumps . My technique is by far better.. My speed has almost tripled. It's amazing what a experienced guitar player can do for you if they sit you down and explain things.. That's my $.02

Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
The intro is very nice to play... pretty long intro, like it.
Only the solo... that's the only part i can't play.

He's right, Ozzy stuff will help you out, also what I did to learn to start palying faster and better is i played the solos to metallica liek the song one or the solo part on nothing else matters and at first it sounded horrible, but I played it everyday and at first i thought i would never get it so I just practiced and now Im pretty good at them. Iremmeebr how veryone was liek o practice will help just keep practicing and I didnbt htink it would do anyhting I would get pissed and just be liek i odnt think practicing will do shit but i guess it does work. Just stick with it. Hail!! and good luck!!

Yeah, the "Nothing Else Matters" song from "Metallica" is kind of hard when you first start out playing guitar but after a while you will get the hang of it. Or just do exersices liek go on 1st fret with first finger, second fret second finger, 3rd then 4th then go back to 3 2 1 and keep doing that with your 4 fingers and after a while it will get to to go fast and get the feel of things liek accuracy. (*thats what I did)  It helped me out. Good Luck. Hail!!!!

i dont know if anyone said this already because i skipped to the last reply but most (almost all) of the beginning of metallica songs are very easy. like the first classical parts of the like battery is easy, unforgiven, Nothing else matters. God i love those beginnings. depending on what skill lvl ur at u could skip to something like ...and justice for all.
