When did you realise that metal, including the shit like dream theater and malmsteen, was garbage and didn't really require technical talent?
>used to be metalfag thinking I was so advanced playing harmonic minor arpeggios like my favourite le shredders john petrucci and yngwie malmsteen
>liked classical music and thought metal was like it (didn't even know classical guitar existed)
>get back into guitar except start playing classical guitar
>using carcassi method and sor's method
>carcassi and sor have more techniques and methods of playing for BEGINNERS than the all of metal guitar has
Don't forget, sweep picking is a jazz technique and barely used in metal unless it's the tryhard shit and even then it's usually tastelessly implemented.
I like Paul Gilbert and some other guys still but they're basically the only real amazing guitarists and innovators in metal. For the most part 'innovation' in metal is making a new subgenre by using more pedals/distortion, making edgier lyrics, and growling in a deeper voice. Shame the retard metalheads lap it up instead of trying to advance the genre.

Not really. Where did you get this from? Progressive means that it uses techniques and styles that isn't commonly associated with the genre in the first place.
Strange time signatures, unorthodox melodies, rhythms, and playing style, generally lengthier songs from what the genre's used to.
Progressive music is generally (with some exceptions) about taking a melody or an idea and expanding on it throughout the song until the final product at the end of the song either sounds completely evolved, or nothing like what the song started out as.
It just happens that a lot of prog groups incorporate elements from other genres. Incorporating elements from other genres doesn't necessarily make something progressive, however.
Progression in music has nothing to do with differentiating itself from the rest of the genre. It's about slowly, but strongly expanding, evolving, and/or changing from what the song originally was at the beginning, gradually throughout the course of the song.
>much like everyone else
You're parroting people.
