What sort of things do you want to learn?

Katsu Ohta is older than you and...well watch.

Le sigh... that's the kind of stuff that made me fall in love with lead guitar.  It continues to astound me how much music can come out of such a small range of motion.  Guys like Ohta make it look so easy it's deceptive.  Incidentally, this was my primer on sweep picking.  Sweeping accurately at speed is still well beyond me.
 
I've been playing off and on since, I dunno, 15 years ago or so, but I actually only started to play regularly (8-10 hrs a week on average) and more seriously just about a year ago.  I still consider myself a beginner, maybe intermediate level at best.  John Petrucci's "Rock Discipline" video is really what kickstarted my interest again; before watching that, I just basically dicked around and never really tried to learn much.  That video has a lot of good starter material, and I like the way he presents the material.
 
And today I got my digital metronome & a few books from Amazon, so I've got some new material to start studying!  Up until now, I've mainly been practicing scales, experimenting with arpeggios, and generally trying to slowly build accuracy & stamina.
 
Funniest thing to me is that I have no interest whatsoever in playing with other people; I just want to learn to solo entirely for its own sake.  It's one of those things almost-unreachable things that's always fascinated me.

In addition, I wanted to be so awesome in math and sciences that I can solve everything just by looking at it for 3 seconds. <- Dream and not something that can be learned.


Let's be awesome.

One of my highschool teachers gave me a book he had in his office about how to do basic math, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, in your head nearly instantly.

Same, no interest in playing for others. Most of my friends have never heard me play, only one really, and that's because we used to jam occasionally. That link you showed me goes a little quicker than I would; focus on the the four notes and one thing he neglected to mention is that it takes months to get halfway decent at it. Don't try to run before you can walk or you'll sound awful. Rather amusingly, some guitarists that are well known for their ability can't sweep well at all; Dragonforce and Laiho of CoB are prime examples. I mean, this is just painful...

Personally, I've always wanted to learn to fly a plane. It's one of my dreams, but will probably never actually happen unless I suddenly win the lottery so I can pay for it. Maybe some day if I get a well-paid job, I might be able to manage it.

Other than that, I want to become fluent in Japanese; I'm working on this now, and if all goes well, I should be pretty much there in <4 years. Hopefully have a reasonable knowledge of it within 2, but we'll see.

I can't actually think of any other ambitions than those two, really. I have no dreams lol

Ouch, that was the guitarist from Dragonforce?  I'm hardly qualified to be a critic, but I'm kind of surprised to see such a sloppy half-assed technique coming from a musician in a band that well-known.
 
Most of the vids I've seen on sweep picking make it look deceptively easy, but it's one of those things where if you don't develop the dexterity working on other things first, it becomes very difficult to do well.  I still suck at it, but I try to work on it every once in a while.
