So I know I’ve been posting a lot of things lately. And all of them have been directed towards me getting better. I feel bad for doing that but once I get back on track I’m going to start helping people more.
So I’m going to need your help for this, this will be one or the last times I’m asking for help. So I want to make a schedule to practice guitar. So I need your help. On the things I need to work on, Ben brought up a lot of good things in my last post. So I have an hour a day to practice all of these and how would I fit This into an hour and how to make it interesting so I don’t get bored on working on the same thing every day for the same amount of time.
So I’m thinking about making a video once a week or every other week. So I’d like to throw that in too. Again thanks for all of the help guys I really do appreciate it now.

Don’t get me wrong but try to focus on one thing at a time. If you have one hour to practice day try to use that hour for one thing and focus on that one thing. If you have one hour total to play guitar each day try to practice one thing for 30 minutes and spent the other 30 minutes having fun jamming to stuff you like to play

What I tend to do is I practice for an hour every day minimal
First 15 minutes I play the intro to Master of Puppets, because I need to work on my down picking speed
Second 15 minutes I practice my scales and alternate picking
Then for 15 minutes I try a harder song that requires faster picking, generally Anastasia by Slash
Then for the last 15 minutes I just kind of relax and play whatever I feel like at the time.
If I practice for more than an hour it tends to loop back around. But the idea here is that I’m focusing on my weak points.

Lachlan don’t worry about helping enough or not enough. Just focus on yourself for now and when you didn’t the time and you feel like you are able to help somebody try to do it. It is really no problem at all!

My opinions on practice schedules is in can be a bitter sweet thing. I tried doing it several times and what can happen is that I’ll be in the middle of a scale practice session and I start hearing a riff and end up jamming on it. Next thing you know inspiration strikes to practice a goal song when you “should be” doing theory studies. I just make a list of things that are my goals and I continuously work towards them ?
