Music goals & ambitions for 2026?

[bassbiscuits]

I’d like to develop the acoustic guitar playing side of things more.
 

I play bass with three bands but my acoustic guitar playing is only ever part of my solo gig stuff.
 

A while back I worked up a load of really nice grooves just experimenting with a basic looper pedal, and I’d love to develop those ideas into something for a duo that’s completely different from the other stuff I do. 
 

Edit: I’m summary I’d like to have the confidence to try out these original music ideas live!

I don’t do New Year resolutions as such but I do review my goals periodically in my Bullet Journal. This will require some reflection, which I have yet to do because of (1) NYE gig, (2) house guests. However I have sacked off the predictable pub covers gigs to leave space for:

(1) Bowie tribute;

(2) Glam covers startup;

(3) Rockabilly/country covers/originals;

(4) Anything else that seems fun and/or interesting.

My goals this year are the same ones I wanted to achieve last year but never followed through. Learn a bit more music theory so I that I have a better understanding of the fretboard and can improvise over chords with different scales and arpeggios and not just stick to the one mode. 

Would also like to play music with some other humans and not just my computer or looper.

I think there's a whole 'nother thread specifically with you in mind! The "Gear Absinthe 2026" thread, or something similar...
