You want to get noticed? Start by learning the lead lines for these few songs:

Pantera - Cowboys from Hell
Slayer - Hell Awaits
Black Label Society - Counterfeit God
Cradle Of Filth - Nymphatamine
Slipknot - People=S**t
Lamb Of God - A Devil in God's Country

Once you learn those songs, play 'em in your church over your rhythm player's songs.... guranteed to get attention......

Dude, what do you expect? There's no way to give you instant 1337 skillz in Lead guitar...... the way you do it? Like everyone else here, practise, practise, practise, practise. The only thing we can teach you here is WHAT to practise.

Start by buying a book on scales and start learning from that..... going over the scales over and over and over and over and over and over... and once you've done that, go over it over and over and over and over and over..... you get the hint? Once you understand how a chord is formed and how a note is related to another in a different scale, THEN you can pick up different techniques like simple licks or riffs......

I've been playing for 6+ years and I STILL can't do 6plets at 60bpms... Practising takes a looooong time, but if you're serious in guitar, then it will pay off.

EDIT: Sorry if I sounded mean....... I'm not in a good mood and people with bad grammar REALLY p****s me off.......

Which advice? Playing the satanic songs? Well, make SURE you play the riffs mentioned with Either a BC Rich, Jackson, Washburn, ESP or Dean guitar....... and get the biggest amp you can affoard.... good candidates are the Krank Krankenstein, Marshall Mode4, Mesa/Boogie Rectifer, Randall Warhead (if you can find 'em) or the Bogner Uberschall.... guranteed MAXIMUM output. Don't care if it sounds good.... just make sure it's HEAVY and as GAINY as possible.
Wouldn't hurt if you brought them in Coffin Cases......

And for the second advice..... I said BUY a book on scales. Even if you can read them on your computer screen, it's best to get a hard copy of them so you can take it along with you and practise. I mean, practise EVERY CHANCE YOU GET if you want to get good fast...... when watching TV or astro, whip out the acoustic and go over the scale patterns.... while waiting for your game to load up, practise pentatonics.... while waiting for your friend to pick you up, practise arpeggios......

Also, once you get better, to differenciate from your other player yet still sound good together, I SERIOUSLY suggest listening to Iron Maiden, Metallica, Trivium, Opeth and heck, why not Dragonforce to get an idea of how to HARMONIZE with each other.... These few metal bands might be loud, but they do create beautiful harmonies between each other's playing. That's one way to differenciate your playing

EDIT: I CAN do 6 notes per beat, but it always run slightly faster or slower then the tempo....
