Hi mate,
This is a lot of stuff, but you seem to be very organized. If you are comfortable and motivated I wouldn't change anything. However, if you feel that the blocks are too short for each topic, you could focus on 1 concept each day while the other would be just played twice or 3 times (5 minutes) to maintenance. On the other hand, what I got from your schedule is that you work: 20 minutes of technique 30 minutes of improvisation This is not bad at all. The key would be to work on 1 improvisational concept each day. Some concepts examples: - Arpeggios (Major, minor, dominant, diminished) - Modes of the major scale - Triads - Major blues improvisation - Minor blues improvisation - Following the chords with thirds. - Horizontal phrasing. - Scale sequences and the list continues forever. Having a notepad with concept ideas is a good plan. -------------------- My lessons

Yes thats real nice man. The problem that im feeling is that i don't spend enough time on 1 lesson and then maybe lose it. I sometimes think that its better to focus on maybe 2 lessons besides the bootcamp and improv. I think for now that i will focus on the b minor ballad especially on my vibrato and bending and on the legato too smooth the transitions. For the soloing im also working on a designer curriculum from musicians institute so i will take these concept also in jy improvisation and let you know then what was my main goal. Is that ok? Yes, this sound good to me. It doesn't make sense to work on many lessons if you can't connect enough with them. It's better to reduce the quantity and increase the quality of your practice. Tell me more about the designer curriculum, I don't know what it is. -------------------- My lessons

I was thinking one more thing. In the past i tried to study some Licks but at the end i always forget them after some weeks. Maybe if ill do an improv i can study one lick and try to come up witj some variations and try to remeber it. What do you think? Yes, that's the best thing that you can do. When learning lessons, the best way to incorporate those licks and ideas is to improvise over the backing creating variations of those licks, and connecting those licks with other ideas of your own. This should be combined with the "concepts" idea that I suggested before, because it's always better to learn concepts instead of licks. The licks are usually forgotten, but concepts become natural. -------------------- My lessons

Ok! You really need to work on those concepts, and once you master them, you can go for more musical concepts as well.
What's the name of the book? -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! I couldn't check it yet. If you want you can post here the table of content page. I was planning to check it at amazon but it's not showed there.
Your funky jam sounds cool. Good rhythm, groove, and use of silence. Good phrasing as well. Have you ever heard Scofield? You cold get some ideas from his funky albums. -------------------- My lessons
