Here are some things I expect I'm able to do by the end of 2021:
★ Play either Fade to Black or The Unforgiven by Metallica, or Buried Alive by Avenged Sevenfold
★ Play and sing at the same time
So these are the two goals I wrote on my post at the end of January!
Speaking about the first goal, I started working on The Unforgiven on the last weeks (looking forward to post a video soon
). I'm still working on the intro, but I'm liking the results so far! Let's see if I can get the full song till december.
Decided to pick this one instead of the other two (Fade to Black and Buried Alive) because it's a very special song to me: it's the song that made me a fan of Metallica and the song that got me into metal, so I want it to be the first solo I learn because it just feels right. It also looks a little easier than the other two (hope I'm not mistaken
). The plan is to get both Kirk's and James' parts, but since time is my weakness, if I see I can't handle both til the end of the year, I'll stick with Kirk's parts only.
Now about my second goal, I achieved it and also don't
I mean, I was able to sing and play the acoustic part of Tonight The World Dies, and I'm already happy for achieving this on this year, but I can't play and sing EVERY song I want to, so I feel this is an ability that still needs improvement. For example, if I achieve my first goal, I would like to sing The Unforgiven too but I don't know if I can. I can't even think about myself singing and playing a song like Battery one day. But James do it, so it shouldn't be impossible even though it looks for me now
So overall I'm already happy with what I accomplished with my second goal, but I still want to go further so I'll keep working on it
