    With this coronavirus I trust everyone to have a whole chunk of free time all of a sudden. I know for me, the social distancing part has allowed me with some extra time and I set a goal for myself that I want to reach when the whole quarantine/social distancing is over(which will probably not happen before June 1st). I'll share mine but I'd really like to hear yours too!

    Basically, I made a list when the metal minute thing started and I still have 31 songs to do from that list which I would like to finish before I suddenly get a social live again. If I do finish it before I want to start going through Robin Nolan's songbook one. The first step into getting there will be finishing Believe (@Dominik Graeber challenged me and I'm.crazy enough to do the whole song) and get the solo before the synth part in Exist down.

    I don't have a real list of what I wanna do. There is so much I wanna work on. I am getting more comfortable with my rhythm playing so there is a new song I want to learn every day. But I barely focus on one. Just listened to Faint by Linkin Park and thought "Damn, I wanna play this". So who knows, next cover maybe?
    Then I will also be pretty busy with my leather work too. Also still have to work at students help so no free time every day

    Nice topic idea there Ids.

    As for my goals, I want/need to kickstart my content creation process. I have way too much stuff going on in my head and I need to organize it a little bit. I finally finished the admin part of my website (you know, the one that actually allows me to create courses ).

    I also want to start working on some more music. DistroKid finally told me that Project Flynn has been sent to the stores and it should be live...soon. Stuff is moving so slow sometimes it's annoying. But now that it's only a matter of time, I can finally focus on some new stuff (torn between doing more orchestral covers or original music).

    Oh please! I love that song!

    My goal is to do my first cover with a friend. He is a singer and we want to do a full cover. Last year I bought a drum plugin and bass. So the only thing I need to know is how to mix that shit
    But with that self-quarantine I have a lot of time...

    I'm in a hotel room in California until I can get travel back to Japan, so yeah there's time. I have a sketchbook, my laptop, and I bought a guitar at guitar center the day before Cali went on shutdown. The class I've been in has occupied most of my last month so I've made plenty of excuses as to not stress about progress. Just taking things day by day, not panicking, and honestly watching a shit ton of anime.

    Learned the basic patterns for the major scale in D maj, and the relative B min natural minor scale. They're pretty much the same except my book shows the last pattern of B min to be different. Using those scales to practice speed. Learned a few new chords. Learned the first solo for comfortably numb. Would like to get back to my amp now so I can practice how it feels and not just the notes. I'll make a video when I get back to my own home. So I guess my goal is the second solo and to keep on keeping on. The dude abides.

    I don’t really have more time than before quarantine because after school shutdown my son is at home for 24 hours and takes tons of time to take care of him, and do some schoolwork and stuff, but luckily my husband started working from home and we take shifts, so I can keep my practice time.
    My goals are definitely to work on the CAGED system and to improve my bendings too.
