It's a good plan if you can stick with it. I suggest rotating exercises so they don't get boring, and work on some chords as well - no good soloing withouth good chordal work.

Seems prety good man.
There may be things (i think legato/economy picking was mentioned) that you don't want in the routine right now but want to save for later, but this seems prety good- as long as you're happy with it ofcourse. I finished a week or so compiling my "super-duper" guitar workout- that's quite specific to me- i'm gonna try and go into as much detail as i can on each section in my practise agenda- so have a read of the coming entries and maybe you'll get (just a little) but of inspiration of what you can throw in yours: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...p;blogid=6& I'll be posting a warm-ups entry later today (unless i get struck down..) |

You can then benefit very much if you dedicate 1h of theory per session. my 2 cents.

A good consistent practice of 1.5-2h a day will get you further than 2 days of not working and doing a marathon 5-6 hours session. Also it creates a habit and bonds you to the guitar more. I also did a lot of long sessions, but after a while you risk to burnout, and risk to get bored with guitar. I suggest you start easy and work your way to bigger and bigger sessions, rather than other way around.

Playing a guitar and doing music in life can only serve to you as a good purpose of course. You learn new stuff, make new contacts, meet people etc. The essence of practicing is not to fall down to a routine and experience it as a chore. How to do that? Well it is and individual thing, but it is generally always good to look at the practice as some sort of interesting thing that you can do for like 15 minutes or so. Why 15 minutes? Well it is better to take a guitar with a feeling that you will be playing 15 minutes, and let it take over you for 2 hours, that to make a big schedule and know you have to practice for 3 hours. Then you will feel bad if you get bored after 1 hours or so. So, always start small and work your way to bigger sessions gradually.
Practicing must be very flexible, you don't always have fixed time etc.. so take the guitar as much as you can, always take a metronome and practice practice practice. Then during practice you will notice some good things that you can practice some more. The good thing with practice is that there is so much thing to work on, that you will never run out of ideas. So when you see something you like and wanna work on it, work on it slowly and gradually and it will be ok in a long run. Always think in a long run, like "in a few months I will be able to play better, although I don't feel it now I KNOW it will be that way as long as I keep taking my guitar and taking a metronome a practice some more. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
