Write Down Your Current Practice Routine Options

[Ivan Milenkovic]

Hey guys, I thought we can all try to share with each other our practice routines. This would help people that didn't develop their own systems of exercises.

Also I'm here now to give you some directions and advices regarding your own routines if you like!

My practice routines these days revolve mostly around creating backings and practicing various things over those. I like to record various chord/powerchord combos and limit myself for 15 mins to scales, then arps, then specific techniques, then combine them, break them appart. I start slowly, and increase speed gradually until the end.

In recent years, when my practice sessions were mostly technique-based, I used to do the usual stuff:

- 15 mins chromatic warmup
- 20 mins pentatonic scales (AP & EP)
- 20 mins arps (EP)
- 30 mins diatonic scales
- 20 mins chords

and so on. Of course, not every session was exactly the same (or else I would be bored to death ). I had to always change positions, tempos, note durations in order to keep things interesting.

Currently I am just learning lessons here at GMC, I've tried to develop my practice routine, a zillion times, but everytime I am going practice according to my practice routine it is just boring, but just learning lessons here at GMC is so much fun, instead of following a certian practice routine everytime.

I'd like to create an extremely effective & fun practice routine (of course), but it doesn't look like that is going to happen in the near future, according to what I've tried out so far, but I do choose lessons that uses different techniques, so I learn something new everytime and most important I am having fun and I keep practicing. With a practice routine I practice 1-2 days and then I put my guitar away, and a few weeks later I pick it up and try and find out a new practice routine, that might be fun, but the same thing just happens again.

What I really would like is an instructor guiding me to the next lesson, since I might be unsure what techniques I need to pick up on, like when I am done with my current lesson an instructor would tell me what lesson to do next, etc.
