Hey Michael
you're dealing with Wolverine here
right? Hehe! My friend, I would recommend a first exercise:
- as each interval must remind you of something, attach that sound to the interval in cause and always keep it in your mind
the idea is that in this way, your musical mempry will be triggered MUCH faster than usual
- sing and play in the same time. each interval in respect to it's tonic
- the next step would be to play the tonic and sing the interval
Please try this and let me know how it goes! Let's start with the C major scale, ok?

Hey Michael! The practice schedule looks good! The two lessons are very good for tackling and I think you can add some ear training to your practice, man! Tell me have you ever tried it? It will do a ton of good on your playing!
let me know and I can hint you a bit in that direction

I bought some ear training CD's called Learning Perfect Pitch a while ago. It helped some, but having to sing the notes really caused me problems. I still do exercises when I have my son play a note and I attempt to guess the note. I also play a note myself and imagine in my head where it is on the neck then I say the note. If I am wrong I correct myself and try again.
I am very open if you have other methods as I know this will help a lot! My vocal range is very small (and flat), I would never make a backup singer!!!!

We did not get anywhere in a discussion yet other than you asking if I had done any ear training...Your board is busy I do not see how you are going to be able to keep up! LOL!
