well, I think familiarizing yourself with each interval on a major scale is very important step towards improvisation. There are some great lessons here on intervals.

Check out this small lesson plan I made some time ago, might give you some perspective on what to practice.
As for the things you need to work now: - scales - chords - music theory - songs self-pace yourself so you get your sessions interesting. I advise you not to practice only scales for one hour for example, but instead make sessions deverse as possible so you don't get "bored". Let us know if you need any additional help. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Your next step will be to start with theory practice, learn intervals, major scale and so on. While you are practicing scales you can effectively practice your alternate picking or some other technique. Try to have 2 in 1 practice as much as you can. Since you haven't played much with a pick, you should definitely start working on that by learning songs on electric, learning techniques that look interesting to you (finding a lesson that covers certain topic you like - bending, vibrato, harmonics etc).

Hey thanks..
I found and started with this after i posted: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/beginner-...ner-scales.htm/ And there is a link to 3 pentatonic scale lessons at the bottom of that lesson as well. Starting from where i have seems like it would work, what do you guys think? I was wondering a little about playing with a metronome. Should i always do it? Sometimes? Feels unnatural so far, but that might be because it's new to me? Just started out here, and there is a lot of new information wrap my head around. If i'm suppose to use the metronome, should i play quarter notes, eight notes or what? I might be able to combine learning to play with a metronome, learning scales, while practicing alternate picking all at one time. Does that sound reasonable? Thanks for helping me become a better guitar player

Yes, this seems like a good way to go. I would advise to check out my pentatonic workshop lesson 1. This is great lesson for practicing and learning pentatonic scale.
Yes, you should practice everything with the metronome to acquire correct timing. In time you will get used to it, don't worry. Let me know if you need any more help. Cheers -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I would suggest using metronome as much as you can and ESPECIALLY if you are learning a new scale. Scales are ideal for making exercises out of them (using metronome). You can make up those exercises on your own, playing quarter notes, 8th notes, 16th notes, triplets all when practicing a paticular scale.

Thanks for the replies guys
Hey i'm kinda struggling to get the 8th notes and 16 notes sounding good enough. It seems like my picking hand is struggling to keep up. Any tips? |
