After that, have a think about the types of sounds you wish to produce, the players you wish to steal ideas from, and the type of chord progressions you are playing over.
There are certain scales/modes that to me sound like 'Yngwie' or 80's metal straight away, and I am not able to break out of that sound when I play using those scales. I am not overly interested in Yngwie's playing, so I have not worried about going any further in studying those ideas.
Hey! what's wrong with Yngwie's guitar playing! (Just kidding) You should check out Joe Stump! That dude can play.
