A video-challenge

General
Hello!
Last year, I decided to do a huge mix of my songs as an "end of the year special video", starting from the very beginning and going to the very end with nearly 2 hours duration.
For this year...I did a list of 365 songs that is/was part of my life somehow.
It will include songs I've been exposed to when I was a child, songs from games/movies I have burnt in my memory, songs I found myself in the internet and so on.
This year, I decided to listen to full albums of bands/artists that I enjoy, and there's still a lot to explore, but I've really loved to experience so far. I had the idea to do this during the second half of this year, so I haven't listened to a lot, but...it's enough for me to shove some of these songs in this video as well. Take this as a...recommendation. A lot of bands has very great songs aside from the most popular ones.
Now you may be wondering: "Wow, so you're just doing a huge video mix of songs from your life?"...yeah, but I'll play them on my guitar/bass.
See where's the challenge at here, right? Most of those songs I picked...I never learned on guitar, so I'll have to pick them up on the same day of recording. For my luck, I won't play the full song, and of course I won't be playing parts I am not able to...I'll play just a small chunk (15 seconds approximatedly) of each...will try to make the video length as short as possible, while keeping a good feeling of the songs I'll showcase.
So there's the challenge: I'll play small chunks of 365 different songs (from different genres, mind you) that will be gathered up together in a single video. Will play both guitar/bass (depending of which gets the spotlight on the parts I'll be playing). I will also play a single melody of an hamorny if I think it's consuming too much time to work with the video, and try to get everything done before 2026. The idea is to upload the video on December 31st... January 1st if I need to relax from all this progress. I started writting my list and picking up the songs on December 2nd.
Won't be an easy thing to do, but I've been experimenting some stuff to put me back on track on producing songs, practicing guitar and editting videos again, like I was years ago.
I've been already posting small humorous/playthrough videos on my Twitter already, so...let's hope I can light my fire again, right? (although I'm an acid dragon...you get me)
Well...good luck to me! And thanks if you've read this all.
