Keep it up. I started a 365 challenge and if accomplished I'd buy a nice Ibanez Prestige. Alas, i failed.
when recording I've taken to going real amp -> Two Notes Captor -> Interface -> Cab sim. Meanwhile monitoring with the real guitar cab and the DAw's metronome.
Meanwhile yeah, I have a billion things to work on musically. Job #1 is to get my playing up to par and take scratch notes on anything I create along the way.
