Hi Amer!! Welcome to the site! I think that you did a grea choice starting with those Ivan's series. I think that a good routine should be divided in a same quantity of minutes for this topics: Technique (alternate picking, sweep picking, tapping, legato, rhythm), Music theory (reading music, harmony) , Improvisation study (Scales, Arpeggios, Modes) , Jamming (just for fun over a backing track) , Composing (compose a riff, a song or something applying the things that you are learning).

Welcome aboard GMC Amer!
That pentatonic series is definitely a good choice to make your pentatonics more precise. Also, Gabriel gave some fine recommendations on other important areas that you should work on. What I would recommend as well, is to find a place to study some styles that you like. For example we have a bunch of cool SRV lessons, and other in style lessons. You can check them out, and see if you like some of the solos, and investigate important elements of each style. Also, one important thing that people usually neglect in the beginning (which is a bit ironic), are chords. Check out my chord workshop series. You don't have to practice it, but just watch first couple of lessons, and read some theory on it. It will only do you good later on. If you need some help in developing more detailed practice routine, you let us know Amer. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Hi Ben, that's the idea. I would like to develop a faster picking technique. I have had very little formal instruction and learnt mostly from online videos. I guess I am at the right place now. Would really appreciate if you could point me to some lessons on GMC in that direction. I have been practicing on Ivan's pentatonic workshop for the last two days and I can already see some difference. I plan to work on his pentatonic and chord workshop series till I get them right! I am trying to put together a daily practice routine (1 hour at-least on weekdays and 3-4 hrs on weekends). Do you have any suggestions? Hi Amer. At the risk of plugging my own lessons, I have recently done a couple of lessons that focus on developing picking speed. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Hand-Basics/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Stamina-School/ They both just focus on the picking hand instead of presenting loads of things for the mind to try and grasp. They're also things that I practice myself to improve my picking ability, especially the second one. I find it useful to strengthen a particular physical motion by doing it in the most direct, simplified way possible. Once you've started to build a stronger, faster picking technique then that's the time to start adding left hand combinations. |
