At this rate I'll know every minor scale back the time I'm 121 years old and I can then just focus on making music.
Sometimes seriously considering turning it down some more.
I’m much more jazz/fusion and less metal.

For the next 20 years I'd occasionally go through spells of practising for a month then leaving it for a good few but never got any further. Got a lot more seriously in to playing keys and writing and recording music in general and did occasionally use my basic guitar playing to add bits to that but it was very rough playing, no attention to detail or nuances.
Then 3 years ago I bought my first decent guitar and practically dedicated all my spare time to learning as much as I can and I did progress quickly - I think the general music knowledge and timing from the keyboards helped a lot and I suppose the 20 years of on-off basic practising probably helped.
In the past 6 months to a year though I feel guilty of stalling my progress by wasting time obsessing over tone and which pickups, amp models/settings etc. Think I've only learned about a half dozen significant new techniques in H2 of this year.
Think this sorts out my new year's resolution!
If lead guitar felt like a whole world of exploration, rhythm guitar is a universe.
I still obsess over where I sit in the mix and how to get boosts and overdrives to do exactly what I want, forgetting that I play almost exactly 40 seconds of lead guitar in a three hour set!
I'm getting worse.
