Consider there is no start or finish...
You are inspired, have a sense of direction and focus, so go play it! Find what you struggle on, find your bad habits, find the areas which you need to improve. Most people play stuff that they already know how to do, maybe for years, making little or no progress. If you challenge yourself against what you currently can't do, it opens up improvement. However, this will get you down quick if you feel your not making progress and isn't as fun. The skill level here at GMC shouldn't be rock solid, it gives an idea, but you might be great in one areas and need work in another, one hand might be slower than the other, it's not a straight line but working them all up together in sync. So the plan is: Target one or so of your bad habits or techniques you wish to boost. Focus on one hand at a time, break it down to easy pieces. If stuck for a while, give it a good shoot but then move onto other exercises like it. Your'll find stopping and coming back to something later on can be that much more easier if you work around the area first tackling it from the sides. Once your got those pieces, fit them together like a jigsaw and start developing/mixing in your own stuff. Keep practice away from jamming! Jamming is playing stuff you already know in your sleep and mucking around. I tend to: Warm up > Practice > Correct Habit > Jam > Correct Habit (Bad habits are the slow downs of progress, breaking a bad habit can be hard and you need to ensure you don't slide back into it, however this can boost your playing skill like you would never of believed) I would suggest learning the blues scales and some tasty licks around them. Focus on one hardish song you really want to achieve. Break it down, play it in parts and work out where you need work, practice on that area, coming back ever now and then to that song. Keep mixing it up with exercises. As for where you should start (or work towards) on GMC, maybe Ivan's Blues Series: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/lessonser...nd-Minor-Boxes/ This post has been edited by Azzaboi: Sep 30 2011, 11:15 PM --------------------  Play Games Arcade Take a break, Play Games!
