this is good way of practicing but I never count my minutes. Sometimes I end up playing for 7 hours
 Counting time can be cool because it doesn't let you overplay stuff but I never stop before I really learn the lick properly regardless of how much time it takes.

Its great feature to time your metronome practice !! Really makes you much more efficient! And yeah GMC lessons are made to be fun but at the same time very engaging on different subjects (technique and theory vise) so you learn a lot!

It seems like a pretty effective way to do it. I don't use a timer, I more prefer similar method as Emir, but timer can be a good thing as well, specially if you have a good and disciplined approach to your practice sessions.

QUOTE (jacmoe @ Sep 10 2008, 06:22 PM)  Yah - but you're lucky to be able to do that. The rest of us need something which makes the most out of our limited, but precious practice time..  Yes, I do use a timer. This is how I see that situation. You decide to learn something and set 20 minutes for that lick. After 20 minutes you move to another one (just because the timer said so) and still can't play the first one. What's the point? You will probably forget the first one in an hour. That's why I like to stick to something until I really know it and then move on. This might not work for everybody but to me this makes perfect sense. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

I thought it's about metronome.
 I never used timer/clockwatch when playing or practicing indeed, maybe it's because music is always like the only thing I have been doing lately,lot of time for it. But when you're studying or going to school(even have a job) then you really need to split your free time wisely. If timer works for your,it's good. -------------------- Youtube

I use a timer only as a reminder for other stuff, because I tend to forget if I need to do something etc.. But for practicing - no timer, every time is good for practice
