Hi Alex,
My long term goals are to compose instrumental songs/guitar solos and possible come out with one album in this lifetime.
I do want to dive into short music pieces, royalty free music that filmmakers or any others can use. I want to sell them and start making little bit of money. But short term goal is definitely learning how to play guitar properly, master a scale and be able to come up with melody.
Weaknesses are a lot. I can't even play a 1 min lesson. Every time I try, it gets worse. It takes hours to record a decent take even after practicing it for a week or a month or even more than that. I can't play fast stuff.
Strongest point has been vibrato I think. Lot of people are commenting on that on my latest vids. I used to be able to compose a melody line before but since I decided to master techniques, I haven't had a chance to explore more on that. Nowadays, I can't come up with a decent melody.
Fav players are Joe Satriani, Andy Timmons, Guthrie Govan.
If you need any more info, let me know.
Thanks, I am excited to begin.
Chandra
