I cut the tip of my finger with a knife in the first 30 minutes I was at work, today. 
No practice for me for at least a couple days, whomp-whomp.

I think 'Shepherd of Fire' is gonna be my first full song, guys... I know I stumbled a couple of times, but this song is fun AF.
Also good pinky practice!
Follow-up: my pinky hurts hahahah. CC welcome, as always. :)

So, I was aware, but apparently not fully aware, of how my sound would improve with an amp upgrade. I've been using this little 15 watt Marshall that I got like 12 years ago, used, for like $50... and today, after some research, I went and picked up a Boss Katana 100 MKII.
Guys. I'm sure you all know this already, but... holy hell. Game-changer. There are so many more settings and features to play with, and the sound is just SO much better. I'm so happy.
I've been making sure to practice with the metronome a little each lesson, and it seems to be paying off! Woo!
Is it common to play your own piece of music so much that it starts to sound stupid to you??
Been having a pretty stressful last few days, but I'm hoping to remedy that and come up with a little something to submit for the contest before the time is up.
It won't be much, but I just want to participate and feel like I did something! All the entries so far are so great. 
Merry Christmas to myself -
I wasn't gonna post this because it felt like bragging, but I've also been saving for months and (like a lot of others) I've wanted a Syn Gates Custom since I was a teenager and finally got my hands on the one I've been eyeing since it came out.
Am I in over my head with the Floyd Rose? Yeah, a little bit. Am I gonna let that stop me? Fuck no, I'll figure it out.
All that said, everybody say hi to

Not that this is at all guitar-related, but hi, I got hitched yesterday.
Late night thoughts as I finish up Lesson 16 and practice a little before bed: I've learned more here in like a month than I have in the handful of years I tried to teach myself. We're so lucky to have this site, y'all. @Syn Gates @Brian Haner Sr. , and everyone else who makes it possible... thank you. Seriously.
Posting that first riff, no matter how sloppy, is kinda terrifying.
Like getting out of your comfort zone x1000.
But I done DID IT.
Just finished up lesson 12 in the beginner course, and I'm having a blast playing around with the two chords I just properly learned!! A very tiny step, but it's progress and I'm stoked!
I only just realized you could follow people on here...
