i've been playing guitar for about 2 and 1/2 years now, i am currently 15 and i've seem to come at a block in my playing...
a few songs i can play are one- metallica (rhythym and lead) but only the first like 3 minutes... i'm too lazy to learn the whole thing
stairway to heaven solo and all
and i just can't find any songs that will increase my playing skill but isn't too big of a step for me
i know i'm slow for 2 1/2 years and i was hoping you guys could help me out,
i've tried a private teacher in my most recent 1/2 year but he is noticably more interested in money than helping me out :\

"Layla" by Eric Clapton.... It will help you mature and polish your guitar technique...

Look at 12 bar blues. A lot of people think Oh No co they've been around for ever, but they're a good basis for a lot of rock. Try Chuck Berry's Johnny B Goode (it was the final song in Back to the Future) or Roll Over Beethoven. The middle lick on those is always fun to do. OR if u like surfin, try the instrumental Wipe Out. All the best, and hope this helps.

If you dig rock try some drop tuning and do some Rage Against the Machine or Audioslave, Show Me How To Live, is pretty intense, but with some practice it is a fun song.

Pray to God to teach you "scales."
That will help you learn Godly leads.
And make sure you play in Church, too.
God Bless.
