Hello good people,

So, after thinking things over an awful lot (got a bit more time for that now, eh?) i've decided it's time to get serious with this music thing..

I'd describe myself as an Intermediate-lower advanced level musician. I'm pretty proficient at fingerpicking and rhythm, play acoustic guitar and electric bass and i sing. Guitar for about 8 years and bass about 13. I'm 29. I say that level as i have never had any real formal lessons or training. Always been a garage/pub band type guy. Can't read music apart from tab and really have very little knowledge of theory, just a few basic bits. I've always shyed away from learning theory, happy making songs and jamming with friends or playing in a pub band etc.

The thing is, i want music as my job. I am a true in and out music lover, and i couldnt be happier if i could make it my full time job.
I know it'll be a gradual thing, but i'm ready for that. Weather it be teaching or gigging regularly, i want to do it.

So my question is this - where do i start?

I want to start putting in the practice and the hours like never before, but i've felt like i've been at a plateau for some years really.
I should mention i have a toddler. So my practice time is at night mostly.

Should i start getting 1 to 1 lessons?
Should i start learning theory at home? (I worry this will kill me with boredom, or i'll lose focus)
Should i find an online course to get into? (any tips?)
Should i do my grades?
All of the above? if so - in what order?

Any tips or advice about pushing myself to the next level without losing concentration (short attention span, admittedly) would be really appreciated.

Many thanks,

Hope lockdown is treating you all well!
