I figured to spark some discussion by asking what kind of projects and foci you are currently working on to improve your playing?

I got tired of being sloppy chunking out power chords and generally being really stiff when playing fast rhythm guitar, so a couple of weeks ago I decided to start working on a couple of Iron Maiden songs through Rocksmith, building up the speed and consistency in rhythm guitar.
So far I think I've got some pretty good results already, although most songs aren't really clean at full speed yet. Rocksmith seems to be a really good platform for this kind of practice, since it makes looping sections at slower speeds so easy.
Currently I'm psyched about Rime of the ancient mariner, it's got such a nice combination of medium-speed gallop and single note lines. Be quick or be dead and 2 minutes to midnight main riffs also make me feel awesome

I've been thinking of trying out Rocksmith as a practice tool. Does it give good feedback as you're playing? Like if your timing starts to drift, will it let you know?

Rocksmith is, I would say, more forgiving of timing issues than incorrect note issues. I've seen it pop up a little "LATE" on some notes/chords, but not as often as "MISSED." Things like string muting and proper tension in your fretting hand (I went from a Strat to a PRS and was fretting chords out of tune due to gripping too tight).
