<div style='font: 9pt Modern; text-align: left; '>I have been playing guitar for about 3 months now, and i was wondering if you guys knew of any ways to progress faster.
I do currently take lessons, my guitar teacher has been playing for 40 years, since the age of 4! He is so awesome</div>
Heh, progress faster?

<div style='font: 14pt Agatha, Modern; text-align: left; '>Just practice a lot, try and play stuff that challenges you, and keep working on it. There is no magical way to learn to play better faster. Anybody will tell you that.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>I think you should pick up a computer based teaching program. I would have learned much faster if I could have seen and heard everything when starting out... better than a teacher, that's for sure... cheaper and on your schedule.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Eh, I don't know about that... Slayer uses a lot more chords than Dino... plus they based all their stuff on the whole dueling guitar solo thing... Dino never solos... just grooves...</div>
