I would help, but I'm a beginner too. I'd probably just end up giving you bad advice.

Hi There,
Everyone has given you great advice and you should def. remember all of there helpful points (Practice , Practice, Practice) No one has really given you what you want, a routine. So I'll make you one. You said you will have 1.5-2.0 hours of practice time, so I will make it for 2.0 hours. Sweeping: ( 30 minutes) I dont know how good you are at any of these techniques so just bare with me. Sweeping Basics -Should help for your basic sweep picking technique. Sweep Picking Lesson- This has some pretty basic sweeping shapes. Should be helpful. So what you can do ( depending how good you are at sweeping), is practice these two lessons for about 30 minutes. If your bad at the sweep picking motion( scratching across the strings) , then practice the Basic Sweep Picking Lesson, if you get better at that, then try out some of the Basic Shapes in Muris's Lesson. Alternate Picking 45minutes Alternate Picking Lesson This should be fine for your alternate picking lesson. 45 minutes for this one. Tapping 30mintues Pentatonic Tapping- Joes lesson should help improve your knowledge of Pentatonics and Tapping. 30 minutes for this one. So I believe were at about 1 hour and 45 minutes. The last 15 minutes you can improvise, fool around, read some theory, or practice another technique or one we already covered a little more. That should help, Good Luck and Get Practicing !

QUOTE (Ian Bushell @ Aug 22 2008, 04:59 PM) Cool ok.. I don't follow a set routine i try keep it fresh and only move on when i have something down. If an exercise is taking to long i'll focus on that heavily and practice it harder to get past the exercise quicker. It's totally up to you how you divide your time up everyday. As long as you use the time effectively you should progress. You'll find with some exercises it takes longer and some exercises you'll get quickly. Progress is not an overnight thing you'll have to keep practicing reguarly to see progress. Play what you're practicing till it's clean otherwise you're missing the point but at the same time, like Jose said don't forget to have fun;) This will sound stupid but see your practice routine like dinner! Meat, potatatoes, vegetables etc. are the things you need. (scales, arpeggios, chords etc.) Dessert is great but if you have dessert all the time you're not getting the things you need. (Jamming, oodling around etc.) Structure your routine in a way that you're focusing on problem areas of your playing, techniques you want to learn and styles of music you want to cover. Don't try cram to much into the time you have everyday otherwise you won't be focusing on an exercise enough to get them right and move on. Here's another example of a routine: 20 minutes alternate picking 20 minutes legato/tapping 20 minutes sweep picking 20 minutes chords/rhythm - change style every day or couple of days 20 minutes writing/jamming/improvising- change style every day or couple of days Does that help you? Yes it does, very much. Thanks you sooo muchh Ian, for helping me :] If it'll work out well, I'll let you know you did a right thing XP Thanks again QUOTE (Eat-Sleep-andJam @ Aug 22 2008, 05:11 PM) Hi There, Everyone has given you great advice and you should def. remember all of there helpful points (Practice , Practice, Practice) No one has really given you what you want, a routine.
