How do you learn guitar songs?
I have an electric guitar. I know about 15 licks from different songs. I want to learn the WHOLE song, to play along with it. I can't listen to the song, because I honestly cant hear the strumming pattern. When I search on youtube for it, everyone just teaches does the intro or solo part. When I look for tabs it shows me, but it doesn't show the strumming pattern. Any advice? How do you learn it?

Guitarists: What would be the perfect songs to fit if I wanted to learn guitar theory, scales, and sweeping?
So, if there's any songs that had each of these elements in them...so like if there would be a specific song for Guitar TheoryScalesSweepingSort of like the intro to " Bleeding Mascara" Atreyu the intro would be an example of sweeping. But, I was just wondering if there were any more good songs like that and maybe a song that has a bunch of scales in it and maybe sweeping as well incorporated in it. Theory might be more of the concept of guitar.Im not sure if there would be a song to teach that. Same thing w scales, but i kinda hope that there would be...Thanks for answering
