So first.. i usually practice around 63 hours a day.. I have to timewarp to do it, but thats another story.
okay heres a typical summers day in the life of me. no working day
Wake ( umm when ever i like sleeping in though 10:30)
eat( small mammels, live is the best way to go about it, small mammels are great for the hands, okay theres a joke that AIB will get and maybe some other people
)
i start practice just by doing scales all the way up the fretboard simple blues scales to get my hands warm. i then start by playing segments from steve vais 1 hour workout which is very simple stuff such as 1-2-3-4 all the way down the strings and then all the way up the fretboard until im playing e as my first note again (12th fret) I then to tremilo's and tapping, simple 1 tap 4 pull of 1 or 1 tap 4 pulloff 2.
WITH A METRENOME! after i feel like ive given my left hand a work i go on and work on picking and sweeps. Speed picking is my fav cause im a rythem player in a deathmetal band ( lots of speed picking) so i basically speed pick one little riff until my right arm feels like falling off just 0-0-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-3-0-0-0-0-4-0-0-0-0-2 as fast as possible switching it up and around of course)
Lunch- MORE FOOD yay
Start with another couple of blues scales to get warm again and then on to the fun part. set the metronome and just jam
creative aspect, this is where riffs are created and solos begun, i just work with effects and my amp and jam around the fretbord. After this ill work on a song, weather its my bands stuff bodom, nile, blind guardian what ever ill try and learn 1 full song ( not that ill remember it ) Then i take a GMC break YAY. post on the fourms go on chat look at a few lessions, all that jazz. Then i will search for stuff to practice online. sry gmc although there are great lessions here i still enjoy pracitcing lessions by my favorite guitarists (vai, jon, satch, Opeth, petrucci are what im liken right now AIB showed them to me)
From here i do what ever, look up guitars, play keys, play bass, play drums or whatever tickles my fancy, if im not done with guitar yet ill keep practicing little things like stretches and scales and riffs and hand exersizes or picking exersizes. If i am done Guitarin for the day ill usually go play sum guitar hero II or just go wander and be a creature of darkness.
Hope that gives you a little insight into my practise day, its not really detailed into what i practice and i know its very crude but for me i find it effective. All my little breaks are filled with listening to music or talkin to ppl bout music. IT NEVER ENDS. on working days i concentrate on exersizes for increasing stamina ( playing a 5 songs set straight really hurts! ( new discovery
)
