I think its safe to safe if you have a 1000 hours under your belt, you have a good understanding of what you are doing. I am going to be using this for my progress. I have come up with a fun way of reaching goals. I would like to invite the instructors to give their input, but I have come up with dividing up the hours from 0-1000 into 7 levels.
Hours Title 0-10 Guitar Hero Defector 11-50 Air Guitarist 51-100 Guitar Not A Zero 101-300 Ax Grinder 301-500 Shred N Butter Man 501-750 Guitar Virtu-So-So 751-1000 Guitar Hero What I would like to know is given the average person what things should the know at the various levels? Do you think we could quantify? I like the idea of having a measuring stick to strive to meet, and beat. I have made the hours not to be too long between titles. People can get to Ax Grinder pretty fast. We could create a chart to show what kind of techniques, scales, chords, songs would be equivalent at this level. We could take this beyond 1000 hours, if others who are past this want to develop this further. To me, its about the practice time, the good practice time. I can riff away aimlessly and not get better. I think if we record, observe, and evaluate our practice time. We will see great strides in progress. We all know its not how long you have owned a guitar, or had access to one, but how long you have been playing, and pushing yourself to get better.I would like to hear your thoughts. I think this could be a lot of fun. -------------------- Keep on playing!

Like Ben was saying our goal is to play music, music is the goal not practice.
What I like about a lot of the lessons on GMC and especially Ben's, they create a piece of music to practice a certain technique. Take the Land of Legato, it's not just random trills, but a sequence of legato patterns that create a musical piece. This not only makes it enjoyable to learn and practice but gives insight into the musical application of the technique. -------------------- My SoundCloud
