Practicing

[hunte25]

Hey so I’ve been practicing a lot recently (I usually aim for bout 12 hours if not minimum of 10) but since I’ve completed all my assignments and shit I don’t really know what to do besides keep repeating the same things over and over and I don’t feel like that’s the best way to grow any tips or things to practice/ideas?

Is that 12 hours a week or per month?

A day though that includes theory, ear training and song analyzing without those there it would be more of 7 or 8 where I’m actually playing

I hope, in all that time, you're doing some playing for FUN or WRITING or something besides lessons and learning?

Uhh sort of (I don’t really know how to write songs ) it’s mainly going from Cory Wongs course then to Syns Etudes then to the Real (fake) Book for guitar wise stuff but now that’s stuff is mostly completed (Cory’s course and the real book, almost done with the Syn’s Etudes) idk what else to do or where to go from that since that was mainly all I practiced off of so I was just wondering for tips to go to next or what you practice (I don’t mind saying to full what I did practice if you want ideas or something like that)

I feel that practice is individual. What is good for some isn't necessarily best for others. Follow consistency and follow determination, and you will find your answer.
