What Have You Improved On, and What Are Your Goal Songs?

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend, I know I did! The studio is really daunting, and mentally draining. Nothing reveals your flaws quite like hearing yourself back :/
Anyway, last night I finally got to take a small break and jump back on the school to move on to the next lesson and I picked Hail To The King back up to shake out the tension. And… I sucked at it :/
Literally! I haven’t played that song in several weeks and I’m finding myself having to slow down the metronome again. Does anyone else have this issue? You get something down fairly well, and two weeks later you have to start back up again? This made me think though, that if I conquered THIS song, what are my other songs I have been wanting to learn? So here are some of my personal goal songs!
1. Scorpions – Rock You Like A Hurricane (That solo epitomized sexy shred lead for me)
2. Dio – Rainbow in the Dark
3. Pantera – Primal Concrete Sledge/Revolution Is My Name (rhythm, rhythm, groove groove)
4. Testament – Seven Days of May/Sins Of Omission
5. Metallica – Enter Sandman/Unforgiven 2/King Nothing
6. Primal Fear – Armageddon
7. Ozzy – Crazy Train (I still can’t play that solo)
8. Avenged Sevenfold – Scream/The Stage/Fermi Paradox
9. Judas Priest – Way Too Many To Name
10. Skid Row – Way Too Many To Name
11. Aerosmith – Walk This Way/What It Takes
12. Versailles – Ayakashi
13. Black Mage Orchestra – One Winged Angel
14. Wasp – Animal
15. Poison – Life Goes On
16. Warrant – Uncle Tom’s Cabin
17. Classical Guitar versions of many different Disney songs.
Also, what have you improved on? I’m seeing SOOO much improvements in the riff section I can’t even keep track. And I remember Ben Newton posted a forum topic that I loved, with which he said “we only see the good traits of our idols and only the bad ones of ourselves with our playing.” So I really wanted to take some time for people to share with everyone what they feel THEY improved on, because I sure am seeing it! With me, I’m definitely getting more comfortable with knowing my way around the neck and getting more creative instead of just using scale runs. I look forward to reading your comments! Have a great day, everyone!

Glad you liked the comments Jak.
My list of goal songs of the moment;
1. Steve Vai – The Audience is Listening
2. Jason Becker – Perpetual Burn
3. Zakk Wylde – Anything he can do (I sort of adopted the hybrid approach)
4. Paul Gilbert – Technical Difficulties
5. Steel Panther – Anything Satchel
6. Avenged Sevenfold – MIA, Strength of the World, Shepard of Fire
7. Dream Theater – Erotamania
8. Lynyrd Skynyrd – Freebird
9. Protest the Hero – Anything they do (Luke is amazing)
All I got at the moment!
What have I improved on? I think that my general knowledge of theory has improved greatly. As I’ve just started teaching privately its forced me to pay attention to alot of detail that I may have missed out on before.
My picking has developed also. I’ve been examining my playing alot recently and found I have two different picking styles, and try to use both.
I think, though I’m miles off, that my improv has improved greatly, but might need to look at other scales. I take on board everything that is said on my videos, but can’t always learn right away.
What I could improve on is giving myself more time to practice. Time is short these days and I quite often feel terrible when I can’t keep up with peoples advice. Syn gave me advice on legato the other day, and I just havent had time to listen to his suggested artist. Along with others advice. So, there is something I’d like to work on!
