Let's start off slow.
Re-identifying the skills I want to practice:
Alternate Picking
Sexy smooth legato ala Oli Herbert!
Sweep picking
Tapping
Metal riffage
Alternate picking on acoustic
Harmonic minor scale & licks
Phrygian modes
Hybrid picking!
Singing and playing
Learning more blues turnarounds
Solo phrasing
Learning song solos
...and alot more...
What I need to do start:
Develop licks/practices for each skill
Implement a plan to play them atleast once every other day
Post how a beginner could start learning some practices
The biggest thing to wrap my head around this guitar learning business is that there is no set milestone. It's simply: harder, better, faster, stronger. Forever. Improve daily. Same goes for my other fitness goals, except there are milestone markers along the way: Muscle gain, body fat loss, getting to the single digit body fat levels one day.
I'd like to be able to rip a solo one day, off the cuff, that flat out amazes people, and while I can do well now, I'm fooling everyone but myself thinking I'm a good player. Sacrifices must be made in order to improve. I start here.
