Members lburger Posted December 24, 2006 Members Share Posted December 24, 2006 Guitar New Years Resolutions - Understand more about music theory (which will help with the next goal)- Learn to play some mean rockabilly/Setzer- Get a new guitar that will inspire me to play rockabilly/Setzer (I've been lookin!)- Get proficient at fingerpicking (see 2 previous goals)- Do a reasonable sweep pick- REALLY understand arpeggios Next year at this time I could either put in some time and have these talents or still be wishing I could do these things. We will see. This forum will certainly be a big help in getting a few of these done... Merry Christmas - Happy Holidays to you all. I hope the new year brings you good health and great happiness.

Members Alchemist Posted December 25, 2006 Members Share Posted December 25, 2006 Originally posted by Cowinacape Buy more stuff, just better quality......must avoid eBay lol I buy quality stuff, but sometimes gas gets the best of me and I get stuff I dont really need instead of getting stuff I do need. IE buying yet more and more electric guitars when what I really need is a nice high end acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ashasha Posted December 25, 2006 Members Share Posted December 25, 2006 -Get out of my musical rut and expand on new tones. I've been playing with the same sound for months now.-Learn how to do a fret job and get the rest of the tools to do it right.-Setup all of my guitars, not just the ones that I like to play the most.-Possibly buy an amp (looking at a valve jumior head); first one in over 12 years. I've been playing with headphones on my PC for 10 years now and using a 4 track before that and I need to get some practice playing in front of others. That has been my biggest phobia for ever.-Start jamming with my friends.-Buy no more guitars or gear until I get better with what I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, you aren't really enjoying your guitar like you could until you do this. (I missed out for years too) Find a little studio you can rent for a few hours, one that has amps and drums.
