alright lads, what are your goals guitar-wise for this summer??
Mines are: -shredin' some non-Eminor sequenced scales @ 240 bpm (gonna have to remove dust from my metronome... i know !! ) -figuring out / tabbing / playin' at least two solos out of "from wisdom to hate" album by Gorguts (Dan Mongrain solos are crazy) -get better at rythm (or suck less.. )

Wait, is Dan Mongrain any relation to Erik Mongrain (YouTube him, dammit)?
My goals: Learn a two-guitar version of Diamonds and Rust that my fellow guitarist put together, keep working on chops (but not obsessively!), write a few songs, learn the Vivaldi portion of Passage to the Reaper right through.

build my chops back up, keep working on 5 string sweeps, maybe learn a new scale or two if i get my short attention span under control, work on tapping a bit mayhaps.
when i sanded the finish of my jackson's neck, that took out one goal that i've had since march

my sweeps are coming along rather nicely, just the matter of cleaning them up. i technically didn't learn any new scales, but I have been trying to wrap my brain around modes n' such.
so, there is some progress, but i still didn't get around to all i wanted to do this summer.

I am starting late, but I wanna be able to play fast like I can (about 300 bpm) but not just throw in random notes that fall into the pitch of you're key, that is the main downfall of all shredders, I need to be able to think what works instead of just pressing a note that is in key. and I need to be able to do it in bursts instead of killing the song with long crazy fast stuff. I also need to just memorise more scales and apply them better in general. I've been doing a lot of jazz stuff lately to do this and it helps a lot. Next year i'm going to a local fine arts center for jazz. Which is awesome, because it takes away half of my school day!

I was starting to make some rather nice improvements in my alternate licking, but lately I've been having some other issues affecting my playing...Bummer.
