For now, a suggestion could be the following schedule: 30% technique & scales - 30 % jamming & improvisation - 30 % learning new songs & licks & solos etc. In the remaining 10 % you could eat, sleep, and drink (water).

Is this to much? or do you think this will be good? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Make pauses, stretch your arms, stop if you feel any pain etc. --kris You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Would chords be more trying to find more double and triple stops? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Well we haven't speaked to much about more advanced chords at gmc - but if one want's to dive into that there are lots of things to practice. Especially for jazz guitar. A beginner who can't properly play barre chords ( we have got a begginners lesson on that coming up pretty soon) - should definately spend som time on that. For rock guitar you can come a log with just power chords. Check out the power chord lesson. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I like to play slower blues with feeling.. so this far I haven´t got any problems with pain. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

What kind of guitarist do you want to be? Is speed more important or do you want to be more melodic? Do you play for pleasure or profit? Do you want to just jam or play in a regular band? Are you going to play lead, rhythm and/or sing? I'm sure there are a lot more you could ask. If you don't know your destination how will you know when you've arrived?
