Re: Goals for 2019
I set a number of goals this fall, the main one being to have about 20 "jammable" songs -- songs I can play fluently with some embellishment (i.e. multiple A parts and multiple B parts) -- by May. Another is to play the minor and 7th chords in the bluegrass keys fluently (not unrelated to the other goal!)
The longer term goals (a year? two? more?) are to play much more relaxed in jams (not sure how to measure that other than to maybe to take my pulse!) and to competently improvise.
So far I have found that having a few goals has spurred me to be more intentional with my playing time (less aimless noodling) as well as to greatly increase my playing time, from about an average of 45 minutes to something like 90 minutes per day.
