Hi,
First I search for GMC Lessons covering all the techniques/sounds I want to learn/develop, which leads to a VERY long Bookmark list.
.
I try to play and practise up to 4 Lessons one after the other every evening for about 1 Hour at least. I love to have the opportunity to switch lessons at any point. But more as four lessons at once has been proved to be inefficient for me.
Balance Is the Key - as always.
The Time I need to master a lesson varies. For example : I have a lesson bookmarked that I try to master for almost since I have been here.
But to play as precise as possible (and a lesson appropriate to my skills
) I would guess that I need approximately 3-5 days.
I break down the lesson the same way as -derper- described earlier :

When I hit a GMC lesson, it breaks down into 3 parts (for me).
1. Memorization: For me, this is takes a bit. I have to memorize each part individually. The "Vivaldi" lesson is fairly short, so with my random efforts to work on it, I got the whole thin memorized within about a week. That's a week span, and maybe just an hour or less here and there. I play each "part" individually, slowly, and to a metronome.
2. "Glue it together"!: Now that the notes are memorized, I have to play the parts all together, slowly and to a metronome. Knowing all of the notes is really only half of the battle. During this "stage 2" you start to uncover the little things, such as changing position, hammer on's, slides etc...and how they can affect each other, when played in time (slowly even).
3. Crank it up to speed!: My favorite part. Now that I'm comfortable on the notes (part 1), AND I can play it through all parts at a slow speed (part 2) it's time to ROCK it up to full speed!
cheers,
S.
