These 5 years of my playing i was practicing most of the time before sleeping, in the late hours because during the day i had school and after school you have to study. So most of the practice was in the evening and night.
To make long hours of practice useful you have to make it interesting. If you pick one single exercise and play it for 4 hours it won't bring any good. Because you will be learning the particular exercise and not the technique. After you learn it and go to another exercise you'll feel like you never practiced at all. Best way to organize your practicing is to pick 3 or 4 exercises for certain technique - for example AP and play it 10 times each: 10x1 lick, 10x2 lick, 10x3 lick, 10x4 lick. Than start it from the beginning. That way you'll be practicing 4 different exercises and same technique which will result in much bigger progress. AND - what is most important - it won't be boring. Today i was practicing sweeping - and i created 4 new exercises and was rolling them one after another just like described before and it was totally cool, funny, interesting, in the end of practice session i felt a really good coordination with sweeps. These are just some of my ways to practice....if you find it useful - good! If not - well - it works for me!  Oh, and - having a good sleep before practicing is also a good thing to do. If you are tired, come from school or a job - drop on your bed, have a 1 hour nap, and than you'll have a killer practice session. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |
