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.

I usually combine working on a new lesson with a few exercises covering various techniques. I start the metronome very slow and then increase a few BMP every few minutes until I've either reached my max speed for the new lesson (if the lesson requires speed), or until about an hour. Then I switch gears over to something easier like just jamming or playing songs I already know. If I have time for two sessions in a day, I might do the same thing all over again, or use a different new lesson and exercise.
