Yup!! Now they ask "What flashy guitar solo do you want to learn" and they teach how to hammer on and pull off and fit as many notes as possible into your 8 bars of glory on jam night. I was in a Guitar Sinner last month to look at the used rack and there was some kind shredding. I walked over and smiled under my mask and asked "Nice shred! Can you show me a b flat minor 7th in the 2nd position?"

He hit me with an F bomb and I walked away laughing.
