I am struggling with what I want to focus on next with my guitar playing. I did a lesson on power chords and am almost done. I decided to do some exercises on palm muting that I found on The Guitar System. After that, I feel so scattered and like I could go in several directions but need to choose one. I could learn bar chords. I have been playing for about 2 1/2 years and still don't know them. On the other hand I think cross picking would be fun. I also really love finger style and want to learn that. Or I could learn 12 bar blues. Oh I could also learn how to use a pentatonic scale shape. I feel like I am overthinking this and going in circles. I keep thinking it would be useful to learn bar chords but frustrating and it more fun to learn cross picking. Help, how do I narrow this down? What is the balance between learning the basics that are useful and learning the stuff that is fun to play and maybe not as much of a basic skill to know?
