I've not beeing playing seriously for long, just about 3 weeks. I find myself playing the same thing over everyday. I would play the pentatonic scales up and down. then i could work on shifting scales to scales. I read somewhere that you dont need to know a lot of scales; therefore, I'm trying to get the pentatonic down before moving on. Next, I would work on sweeping for a while, then some legato. I practiced all of these with a metronome; however, I feel like I'm not improving at all. I feel like I'm just playing the same stuff over and over so I take a little break and go back at the same thing. Losing motivation so anyone have any idea what I should do?
