OK - with a brand new year rapidly approaching, stop smoking, loose weigth and get more exercise is all very well, but how about the musical resolutions?
Here are mine:
1. Improving my right hand technique!!!! Too 'acoustic' strumming. Need to practice changing between strumming and picking single tones.
2. Learn more songs with the band (also with The Band :))!! We have approx 10-15 songs working OK.
3. Get my Beatles-duo up and running - so far we have practiced once...
4. Purchase a new Western!? My Fender has a small crack it seems evolving between the head and the neck, my Levin is almost impossible to tune perfectly - think I deserve one then :)
5. Purchase a Telecaster?? - couldn't say I need one, but...
6. Almost forgot - Continue reading GN!

Hmm, let's see:
1) Start learning basic Harmony and Counterpoint
2) Start playing in a band or form a band
3) Be a bit more creative: Write songs, lyrics and maybe even take some painting or drawing classes
That's pretty much it, I'm fairly content with my guitars and amps and such, but I guess getting a new amp and a couple of effects and maybe a guitar or two wouldn't be too bad either :lol:

I need to start taking practice seriously and doing it every day.
Also I need to do more ear training and get to the point where I can learn songs by ear (this is way overdue).

Nice and simple - to play more guitar. I kept it this year.
I'm going to do more recording too. It's been almost three years since I put my first CD together.
Best,

Wedding music and guitar lessons in Essex. Listen at: http://www.rollmopmusic.co.uk
-learn more scales - the rest of the major and the minor
-improve soloing (once my Blues Licks DVD arrives!)
-arrange jams regularly
-write at least 20 new songs in 2006
-learn a classical piece?
-learn to play the piano!
-play more slide
I reckon these are all realistic given my current position.
#1. Practice Scales for 5 minutes a day. I know, you go over and it's too small an amount of time. Gotta start small.
#2. More music with my son, the drummer.
#3. Catch a few more shows.
