My Guitar Goal

What I'm Focused On Now

My small wins for the previous 90 days
1 – I was consistent! I practiced everyday
2 – I was able to get a 4 of the Tuesday licks down and sound clear and good (to me at least)
3 – I went back through a couple of sections of Fretboard Wizard and feel like I can understand Keys better.

For my next 90 days –

My fast goal is to pick three songs to learn memorize in the next 90 days (chords, solos – if any, and lyrics to be able to sing along without my phone or ipad). In the next two days.

Essential Milestone 1 – Be able to play the songs with my phone as help

Essential Milestone 2 – Be able to play at least 2 of the 3 songs without my phone as help

My big goal is to be able to play those three songs to an audience without the use of my phone or ipad helping me along.

Funny note – I can sing along with almost every song on the radio, but when it comes to playing and singing it, I need help with chords and lyrics! Hopefully this will help me improve in that area!

My Guitar Routine

This is How I TAC

In a perfect week, I will practice at least 10 minutes per day, everyday.  During the week, I will work the Daily Challenges, adding the current day’s challenge while building up the previous day’s challenge.  I will practice in my downstairs living room, preferable with 15 minutes of getting home.  If that doesn’t work out, my plan B will be playing after dinner, also in the living room.  On the weekends, I will review the whole week, then work on the songs I am trying to learn, either from the Song Vault, or with newer songs that I am trying to learn and sing along with.
