It's awesome, although I would put "scales" and "alternate picking" together for example. Also "sweep" and "arpeggios" can go in parallel as well.

Every practicing schedule is fine to me more or less
as long as its about practicing! You've got couple of hours there which is great imo. And many of those topic are overlapping a lot which is also great and we can't do much about that. Per example, separate ear training will force your ear to train all the time without noticing, you will play scale and your ear will start to recognize intervals etc. Or when you practice scale/arpeggios, there is much of fretboard awareness already. Keep it up and don't be afraid to "break" your schedule when you feel that way, knock yourself out with 3 hours of pure picking exercises sometimes, why not.  -------------------- Youtube

QUOTE (chetta2323 @ Jul 3 2009, 04:35 AM) hey guys i have one more question. ok so I am going to cut sown this schedule to 4 hours a day. Is that enough time so in like about 3-4 years i will good enough to play gigs and record music like van halen,ac/dc ect.? It's hard to tell, we aint prophets, your success depends only and only on your dedication, love to write and compose, passion, joy to play for someone etc. But if you play 4 hours every day I would say you have very good chances for some nice results. As I said, break rules here and there, sometimes you won't be able to practice for even an hour per day, it just happens, something comes out and your are done. But play 10 hours per day if you get time, that's cool. Actually, the less you thing "how long it's gonna take" the sooner it'll happen, kind of. -------------------- Youtube

) , and if I hadn't explored my own licks and ways to change them, I would still be crappy at improvising. If you are a crappy writer, then listen to music you like and figure out all the parts the songs are made of, how are they connected, and believe me, you will pick up something with time!
), but don't spend 4 hours a day practising only technique. If you practise technique "only" 2 hours a day, it's still very efficient (and I actually believe it's more efficient than practising 4 hours a day), but spend those rest 2 hours on music! Practise phrasing, vibrato, licks, jamming, songwriting, anything creative! Be creative! Technique ALONE won't make you a better musician, player or writer. It's just a tool you have to know how and when to use.

Legato would be a pretty handy technique to use as well !
Maybe you should generalise your schedule a bit more
