To assemble the perfect pedalboard.

I resolve to get my amp and guitars dialed in enough so that MY "perfect pedalboard" consists solely of a Boss TU-2. :)

 

Aside from that, I want to get my credit cards all paid off by the end of the year, and I want to start taking some guitar lessons to improve my somewhat nonexistent lead skills. "Self taught" can only take you so far...

There are some really good lead guitar DVD's out there. I've got 4 or 5 of them that are real good.

50 Rock Licks

50 Blues Licks

50 Country Licks..... You get the picture.

Gives you a pretty good base to work from.

- Gain a functioning knowledge of notes, scales, and chords.

 

- Learn to read music. AND Tabs, while I'm at it.

 

- Practice guitar, if just for a few minutes, every day. So far so good on that one! :-

 

- Research and get a real amp as opposed to my $100 practice one. But only after I've really learned what all those knobs really do.

 

- Learn to set up an effects pedal.

 

- Learn to use an effects pedal.

 

- Figure out what an effects pedal really is and what the hell I'd want one for anyway.

 

- Jam with my friend's band. On something other then the tamborine.

 

- Stop being shy about telling people about my music blog

 

- Get all the way through Arlen Roth's gibson.com lesson without stopping and going "what'd he say?"

 

I'm currently separated from my Epi: my practice guitar for being down here with the 'rents is a white Oscar Schmidt acoustic. The action is impossibly high anywhere above the ninth fret, but the tone is good, it more-or-less stays in tune and it was the most playable of the cheaper guitars they had at the store. Which is why I haven't been on this forum much. Hard to discuss a guitar not an epi on an epi forum.
