I'm fairly analytical and do want to understand what I play. I find it helps to find a lesson where they put it into musical context. Just playing a scale is not music.

@steevc well said. This, i believe is what separates many players. Even shred rock playing...it has gotten more focused on the scales, and mechanical patterns/sweeps etc, and not on playing from the heart. That's why there is only one Jason Becker, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, BB King, Stevie ray Vaughan. Let's take Stevie, how many of us copy his licks? Now, how many of us watch his videos, see his face, and FEEL those notes...that's what we miss. I'm gonna blog about this FEELING thing soon, and I will shout you out @steevc. :-)
