okay, I've been playing guitar for 4 years now, and I'm tired about the things I've been playing esp rocks like Green day Simple plan, MCR..etc..and some acoustics by Eagles and Eric Clapton, Bryan Adams and some classical riffs etc..I think I've got lots of experience, but it's kinda boring coz I'm just repeating songs over and over again (and is no longer challenging)...can you help me out with harder songs that could challenge me? Do you know some and can you give me their title?
I never went to any guitar lessons..I just studied on my own and played songs that I like, but can you guys recommend me some riffs that advanced/pro players do/practice? or any websites you could recommend (that are free)? Thanks alot.

I know people who've reached that point. Try the scale, i think you're already done with rhythm and everything, try looking up the different kind of modes, and integrate them into your playing if you already know how scales. Also you could compose your own songs, using stuff you've learned from everything you've listen to. That way you won't get bored.
Wikipedia's a good place to start. Also i think you'll find guitarshredshow.com quite amusing. There are tabs there for different licks and riffs that you could imitate.

These days you can learn how to play guitar over the internet. Check out Mark McKenzie's guitar video lessons here: http://www.jamoramaguitar.com The videos are very easy to follow and to my surprise extremely helpful even for advanced guitar players. For beginners I would have to say this is a gold mine.
I was able to improve my skills in just under 4 weeks and I am an intermediate-to-advanced guitar player; I've been playing guitar for the past 6 years and I was on stage with my band a lot of times.
I live in New York City, I wanted to go to a pro guitar teacher but that would have cost me over $1400 per month. Good thing with this internet, $1400 it's a lot of money for me. Good luck!

It sounds like you are committed enough to take some SERIOUS lessons. Start taking some CLASSICAL METHOD lessons from a QUALIFIED teacher - you will advance farther than you ever possibly could without one, learn techniques that will make you a MASTER of the guitar. All of the great guitarists have has at least some classical-method training. And, you will learn how to read guitar music this way, if you don't already.
As for some players to check out: Al Dimeola, Paco De Lucia, Julian Bream, John Williams, Andres Segovia, Christopher Parkening, and a whole lot more.

I only have electrics currently but have spent a lot of time trying acoustics over the last couple months. I have pretty much narrowed it down to a Taylor or Martin (big surprise), I love the look of the Taylor but I prefer the sound of the Martin. It is just a richer, deeper sound to my ear. But yes the Taylor's are great. The 414 is the one I've been playing the most.

I'll second Paul's advice, above. Also, start finding some jam buddies or practice partners-players at or above your skill level who are interested in playing your type of music.
