Firstly, I want to improve my speed which is... pretty slow, to say the least.
Secondly, I want to improve my Lead Rock Guitar Techniques (I have mastered Sliding from note to note, though the accuracy during fast, long slides is quite bad, I can do Hammer-ons well, Bends are a bit meh, but getting better by the day, Pull-offs and vibrato are still beyond me. And don't even mention Barre Chords).
And thirdly, I want to start creating my own music, although I don't believe I can have a full song nailed down by the end of the month. Just a part, like some riffs or licks that sound good together.
My most important goal of these is number 2, though.
And now, just 5 days after posting the qouted post, I'm already on my way towards my goal. That is, my String-bending and Vibrato have improved (Bends a lot, Vibrato not as much, but I'm getting there!).
I honestly never thought it would really be this effective to just write down one's short-term goals so they'd be visible to the public... Thanks a lot, Irishsnout. You've indirectly helped me improve my technique :)
