@Decker Rumfelt Happy Birthday man! I hope it's a good one!

I teach this all the time... For more information, DM me and I can show you how to apply this to your playing.

❄️ ICE STORM PRACTICE CHECK-IN ❄️ Roads are icy. Plans are cancelled. This is one of those rare days where the world slows down — which is perfect for guitar. Grab the Snowed-In Guitar Practice Journal, set a 10-minute timer, and post what you worked on. Video or text both count. Let’s turn cabin fever into fretboard progress 🎸🔥 A major ice / winter storm is rolling in — which means plans are cancelled, roads are quiet, and distractions are minimal. Instead of fighting it… we’re using it. This is the perfect opportunity to slow down, go deep, and put focused time into your guitar. You don’t need power‑chord volume. You don’t need a perfect setup. You just need a guitar, a timer, and intention. 🌨️ Storm Day Practice Entry Date: How much time do I realistically have today? ☐ 10 minutes ☐ 15 minutes ☐ 30 minutes ☐ 45+ minutes 🎯 Today’s Focus (ONE Thing Only) When the world slows down, progress speeds up. What’s my single focus today? > (Examples: clean chord changes, blues phrasing, scale accuracy, fingerpicking, learning a riff, improvisation) ⏱️ Storm‑Mode Practice Plan Warmups (keep it relaxed): Main Focus (deep work): Optional Bonus (only if energy is there): 🔥 Small Wins From Today Even tiny wins count — especially on storm days. ⚠️ What Felt Awkward or Uncomfortable? This is exactly where growth lives. 💡 Insight From Being Snowed In What did slowing down reveal today? 🚀 If I Practice Again Tomorrow, I’ll Focus On: Keep the momentum rolling. 🎥 Accountability (Highly Recommended) Storm days are perfect for low‑pressure sharing. ☐ Posted a short video ☐ Posted a written update ☐ Encouraged another Guitar Hero 🧠 Storm‑Day Mindset Reminders Cancelled plans = found practice time Progress loves quiet days Consistency beats intensity Imperfect practice still counts We all level up together ⚡ Guitar Hero Challenge If you’re stuck inside anyway: 🎯 Minimum commitment: 10 focused minutes 🎥 Bonus points: Share proof in the community

TL;DR: I'm going to fix somethings here/ streamline - you're input is requested... Please take the poll! It's been made aware to me that I need to help you know how to go from point A to point B, etc within this community. 😒 Life has often gotten in the way of me helping this community to be what my vision for it was almost two years ago, when I started it. Part of me feels like it should be farther along than it is, but wisdom says instead focusing on what isn't or what hasn't worked thus far, instead let's focus on what is working and how to improve it upon that... 🙂 So I want to cut anything that doesn't need to be here (cut out the fluff), remove anything that is confusing or that isn't streamlined, and make the flow here a lot more obvious and easier to navigate. With all that being said, how can I improve what is offered here? 🙄 I'm taking every and all suggestions to soft relaunch this community, because I myself and a few others see the potential here. 😃 What would you like to see more of here: Please take the poll: 👇
