OK, My routine changes with time, 3 moths ago i would have a routine that would be something like this:
20 minutes of warming up, where i would play chromatic boxes up and down with stringskipping and a metronome, and i would switch between playing 8notes and 8note tripplets and try and increase my bpm for every day.
Then i would take a 2 chords i at the moment found har to bar, and switch between them with a metronome, up and down the neck(chord shapes, not chords).
then i would make up 3 drills that was hard to play, try and play each of them with a metronome intensivly for 3 minutes, than go with the next drill for another 3 minutes and so on for 20-30 minutes.
When i was done with this i would write a short log on how things had worked out for me that way, if i noticed progress or and what bpm i was playing the exercises at.
I would then work with 3 song for 2 hours, just random song that i liked, try and transcribe by ear, and learn and play them at a slower speed if necessary, work with em for days until i felt i could do em with my eyes closed, and i mastered all the guitarparts i liked, for instance the songs i am playing now is "little wing with jimi hendrix, Snow (hey oh) with RHCP and Can't stop with RHCP" ( little wing is great for making basic chord pogressions more interesting, Snow is good for speedpicking, and Can't stop is good for stringblocking, stringskipping and solid chordpicking.
For every new song you learn u have to master new teqniques, and no feeling beats the feeling of beeing able to play along with your favourite songs
I also like picking out hard pieces of songs i like (transcribing by ear) and work on them isolated with a metronome.
One more thing i like to do is to make up strength exercises, again; here i use the 3minute 3drills concept and work on it until i cant feel my fingers.
when im through with this I either try and make up my own stuff, or doing a bit of jaming
Currently i am pretty focused on working out the pentatonic boxes, and getting used to walk diagonal and horisentally betwwen them, and this goes hand in hand with speedpicking.
It's a cool feeling working on speedpicking, when you are picking on and on in a handmotion that your body is not used to, and you can really feel the little part the arm that you are building musclepower in, and in the begining (ive only been speedpicking for 4 days) you notice improvement every single day
thats pure satisfaction imo
Hope this helps anyone out:) Bad thing with getting to focused on one practice moment in my oppinion, is that you loose some of the stuff you used to know, but whats great with muscle memory is, once you learned something, you can allways work your way back to the level you where once at. So nothing you ever learn is ever forgotten by your muscles, just needs to be polished a little
