GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Your Next Goal @october
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 12 2011, 05:17 PM
hey guys! I have started a similar thread some months ago but as we always have new goals to achieve I would like to know which are your next goals related to your guitar playing or music in general. Can we help you to achieve it?
My next goals are:
Working on:
8 fingers tapping
Improvisation
Fusion style
Hybrid Picking / Country Style
Composing at least one new tune per week.
Getting some pedals to use them live instead of the Pod that I currently use as multiFx.
Which are yours?

Great decision Gab, and very good goals. I started to practice again and feel great, wish you lots of good moments practicing and joy that comes out from accomplishing goals, having something to work on..
Having a goal is what counts in the end, that road towards the goal is exciting.
I like your composing-one-song-per-week goal, I didn't think about that much, and it's very important. It's time to create more!

Some great goals! The important thing is to just pick some goals and start moving towards them. Making smaller goals along the way really helps. But without goals, progress is pretty tough. I"d like to write more songs in October and work on completing all the snippets of songs' I've been writing. Completing a song is much tougher than writing just a chunk of one

I wish you all the best my friend!
Definitely Todd!

i'm going to record singles, and do whatever i like at the time, it's a pretty artistic thing so everything goes

I plan on learning the Symphony of destruction solo. Also, more importantly; I hope to be able to play in front of someone. I have no problem making speeches to a crowd full of people but I cant play a single note in front of anyone...not even my wife!

Mine would be
1) Releasing the Aria website and 2 songs along with it (I am recording the final vocal tracks this Saturday)
2) Finishing the recording session with Voodoo, for the album release this late November.
3) Learning this...for the December Mozart Rocks!
I honestly don't know if I'm up to the challenge 
but nonetheless, I WON'T go down without a fight

Finally taming the beast of inside and outside picking !! 
Spread the message of Donut Power worldwide ! And Duck Power !
but nonetheless, I WON'T go down without a fight You are up to it C-Maestro ! You have those magic Steve Vai long fingers on your side

Not a lot of musical goals...main concern is getting my wedding outfit.
Posted by: Ben Higgins Oct 13 2011, 10:32 AM
White suit + Hawaiian shirt. Done !

I always dreamed of being wed on top of a mountain!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 13 2011, 09:34 PM
You'll do it! Maybe you won't be comfortable at first but after some practice you will feel good playing in front of people.
1) Releasing the Aria website and 2 songs along with it (I am recording the final vocal tracks this Saturday)
2) Finishing the recording session with Voodoo, for the album release this late November.
3) Learning this...for the December Mozart Rocks!
I honestly don't know if I'm up to the challenge
but nonetheless, I WON'T go down without a fight That piece of music is so difficult! I like Romanian dances! My Grandpa gave me some vinyl with many of those dance. It's the power metal version of the classical music!
sure! hahha

Annoying Ben so much he's coming to pay me a visit in Germany!
But seriously, now that I got all my equip from my mom's place last weekend (2 more guitars and 1 bass) I want to:
Equip each guitar with a different set of strings to:
work on my bends and vibrato (with thin strings like 46 - 10)
Work on the metal metrcis series (with the really thick strings)
write and record 3-4 punk songs (some riffs are already written, but the bass was missing)
practice bass and post some bass rec takes, so Bogdan has something to grade
Lose a few pounds (okay, this is a recurring goal )

You're gonna get the whole band.. can you handle 5 Englanders ?
We're gonna make you take us out to all the best wurst and bier joints in town !
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 14 2011, 05:34 PM
We're gonna make you take us out to all the best wurst and bier joints in town ! hahah great plan! Can I be the tour manager??
Posted by: Fran Oct 14 2011, 07:37 PM
My goal is the same as usual: not forget the songs I can play, and maybe learn some new ones!
Posted by: Gitarrero Oct 14 2011, 07:40 PM
You sure will! Maybe Luciana could do some backing vocals on one chorus??
We're gonna make you take us out to all the best wurst and bier joints in town ! 5 long-haired englishmen? Oh wait, Chris doesn't have long hair...so yeah, I can handle that...hopefully. The real question is: can the city of Rottweil handle the 6 of us?
Why do I even bother to learn spanish to go to Argentina if it is so easy to get you here?
Wait...yeah, it's because of the girls in my spanish class! (I love this running gag...)Posted by: Ben Higgins Oct 14 2011, 08:17 PM
Hell yeah - make it happen !!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Oct 14 2011, 09:02 PM
I just sorted the main theme out today
It's not that difficult all I have to do is practice diligently and it'll be done!
