These days, I’m taking guitar playing more seriously than ever. I thought, if I’ve been playing for 15 years or a little over, I really need to sound like I’ve been playing for a long time! So I aim to expand my chops, get better, and improve. Hopefully get to the advanced level of guitar playing.
Get good at both rhythm and lead. I’m planning to learn more challenging guitar techniques like two handed fret tapping, sweep picking, arpeggios, etc. Improve ear training and learn music theory.
Again, I’m not aiming to become a shredder or a virtuoso. I feel that if I want to get a band going or join someone else’s band, I need to improve myself. Get prepared. I feel that I need to learn more stuff if I want to play serious rock guitar in a band or something.
I want to have sick and tight jams. That’s the kind of music I like. That’s the stuff I want to play. I do want to become more professional. I didn’t get that good years ago ’cause I’m not rushing myself. You want to take your slow time in learning the guitar. I’m trying the best I can.
