What is your long term goal in music?
My long term goal is to play when there is party or banquet around school. However, my goal is not like playing guitar for my career. I just want to play this awesome instrument well when there is any fantastic parties. Plus, I would like to play guitar to relax myself when I am stessed out. Basically that's all.

I want to play Rock, Punk, Funk, Metal, Classical music.

Do you want to be able to play with others?
Of course. I think it's great to play with others, because I can enlarge my knowledge of guitar and learn more skills from others.

How hard are you willing to work?
I'll try as hard as I can in order to learn any great songs I like. I am willing to spend a whole day time just try to figure out how to play perfect.

What are the key concepts that you need to learn?
Major Chords
Music Notes
Scales, modes, and chords

Figure out all the notes before knowing Rhythn

Before you begin practicing, you must have a list of macro concepts established. Once you choose a micro concept, you will need to print out or gather the necessary resources for practice. You will then have two days to work on the micro concepts.
