I opened up a log to track my progress on a goal to develop picking speed at:

Guitar Psycho Shred Log



It has been going pretty well so far, running ahead of schedule. That is expected though starting out. I know. First you progress fast. Then comes the speed bump. That's where it counts most. It is a nice reminder to have the goals in writing and made public. Its like a built in kick in the pants! I am learning some cool things already even though I have not made the final goal yet. Just getting started but very cool.

One thing I have always wondered watching these players who have attained what I am going after is the intermediate steps they took to get to their goal. In interviews and videos they highlight the main points but that has always left the intermediate steps......well.....out!

I have decided to video tape my revelations/realizations as I go. I know there are a lot of other players out there that can use the intermediate encouragement so eventually when I reach my goal I can share the steps. There are just so many little tricks already I have found to practice through the tough spots effectively that I have never seen covered in any instructional materials. That is what is missing out in the web of information, that is one place I can make the difference.

Hey I was checking out some Satch pics and he had this one with the chickens.

Rex, make sure you still have yours. He may have stolen it!
