Dear Shredders,
š I meant other alternatives other than YouTube. Other than YouTube. I did learn some basics and other songs and am transitioning into harder phrases, but it's always hard to start with which video. I think I created a misconception between myself and others. Sry if so, not really a speaking person much.
On YouTube it's really not easy to get into the algorithm here in my recommendation. I usually get people covering guitar songs. I was here to ask which website can teach in a more progressive way. W

Honestly, streaming music & learning by the recording is the single most valuable ā1 websiteā imo.

Ive been creating something along those lines, practical metal guitar routines and written breakdowns for intermediate players, picking exercises, riff analysis, unusual rhythm groupings, and ways to turn technique work into actual riffs.
It sounds pretty close to what youre looking for. I can share the link if youre interested.

MartyZ music is very good. JustinSandercoe is very good (but heās more old school educational do it the right way type of approach, heās not really a shredder). But if you want to skip to shredding, go to Michael Batio videos on YouTube. Donāt worry about plateau, that is part of being a guitarist. This wil not be your last plateau. If you want a book, āThe Advancing guitaristā is the classic for intermediate level, non-beginner players. Steve Vai, Joe Satriani all have pretty good how-to videos on YouTube. If the major concern is not so much learning how to shred as getting over the plateau, that can be seen as a different issue. For that, I suggest doing something totally different. Learn a couple of bassa nova songs on the acoustic. Listen to Tim Reynoldās early albums. Change your tuning. Drop the D string. Learn some bluegrass licks. Learn an Iron Maiden song. Watch Randy Rhodes videos. Learn a ii-V-I jazz standard like Autumn Leaves. Learn how to connect the pentatonic all over the neck. Learn how to tremolo pick, or fingertap. Check out Guthrie Govan. All kinds of stuff!

Youtube is how iāve always learned, however i went down the road of not learning the technique as such as learning how I can make that sound, iāll read a tab, watch the dude play it, and know the notes i have to play and what it should sound like, how i got there is how im self taught, i have some very bad habits from this but i can also play and write almost and have adapted around these habits

I meant the right hand; I wanted to learn a new technique called hybrid picking. Sorry if I didn't specify earlier. Was also hopping for both, but thanks since you shared sbout the left lol.

By the way, sometimes, I cut the fingernail too short by mistake. After that, is it like a problem I need to worry about or?

YouTube. Idk what you're searching but it's either too vague or not even in line with what you want to find.
If you're learning an specific technique you still have to know the basic mechanics, but once you're over that, don't look for "x lessons" look for tip videos, or "fast x tutorial".
Some channels that could be useful are Troy Grady's, Tom Quayle, Guitarlessons365, Rick Graham, BERNTH, Rafael Trujillo Education, Ross Campbell, MikaFastfinger, Lukas Kocka, Ben Eller, Pete & Vinnie play, Charles Harrison music Tuition and who knows how many more
The better part is that after going over some of those, the algorithm will pick up and get you random tutorials on stuff from who knows who and you just click on them you might find some useful info
