hi ya all....... this is a poll to see where the musical goals and motivations lie with you all i've always believed that one needs goals to be set to allow one to progress and invertably mark ones progress........ also i have never yet met a musician who is happy to stagnate at the musical level they are ..... and likewise i have never met a musician who records something then can listen back a few months later and be happy cos we constanly grow also this post is to encourage guitarists to set a goal if they have not ........cos quite often one only finds out where the "chinks in ones armour" is when you try and get something done musically , so what i'm saying a guitarist can practise scales and modes in his/her bedroom for years and be competant at it but will battle to apply it in the "real" world of music either recording or onstage ........so what i'm suggesting is that apart from just dreaming about doing something musical , set a goal and achieve it ...... it needn't be unachievable tho...... but goals one see's as being possibly a challenge to achieve but achievable........ thats why there's no box to tick that says "having guthrie govan open for me " :D and feel free to discuss your choices and goals....... the idea is to inspire yourself and others to become better guitarists (old forum) Poll Results: what are your musical goals? feel free to pick more than one to play pro (as in no other source of income): 6 Play semi pro ( still doing paying gigs that pro's would do but in conjuction to another career): 9 play live in a cover band (to a paying audience): 3 record only ( as in no live work ): 1 play live and record in an original band: 18 just play for yourself and loved ones: 7 teach music: 8 play at open mic evenings: 7

Yeah! \m/

I would just like to play with other musicians more often, I've only had the chance a couple times.

Lol, who doesn't dream of doing this?

I do it all the time. Its WAY overrated ? It annoys the emo kids though. Especially if you use only slight drive on a very loud vintage-styled amp...
