The new songs I learn are based simply on my desire to play that particular song. So far, this has allowed me to improve my playing technique and have the pleasure of playing music I love.
Most recently I have been working on Paul Simon's American Tune. Learning this has taught me how to use partial chords to great effect. I didn't start with this song to learn that, I just love the song and have always wanted to play it. Now, I can play a song I (and my song circle friends) love and I have a new understanding of guitar technique.
If nothing else, this keeps me interested in playing.
