  QUESTION:  
 
first off , I think your one of the best guitarists alive! and I really need your advice..
Im playing guitar for a year and a half now (yeah I know it's not that much), and alot of times I'm feeling frustrated because I have a problme playing stuff or making my own music .
the thing is that I'm learning by myself and I don't know theory ... I don't want to learn with a teacher 'cuz I wanna develop my own style and not somebody else's... what can help me develope a good ear? and should I learn any theory (scale and everything) with a teacher ?
plz plz plz answer cuz I asked you once and you didn't answer....

I know about your upcoming DVD but can you give me something more spesific

P.S: Is there a chance you'll be visiting Israel any time soon ?
and sorry 'out the spelling

yours, Dudi Chen


 
     
  MARTY'S ANSWER:  
 
My advice is to get a teacher, and have him teach you your favorite songs. That way you will develop your own style while learning the basics of guitar.
