Sooo, this summer is going to be really nice, not because of the four months off from school, and going to a lot of concerts and local shows, but because i'll have plenty of time to practice! I actually already started practicing really meticulously, but i decided on a routine, and i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or cautionary advice to give me regarding this nefty schedule of mine. Practice time schedual Finger Stretching Excercises 20-30 min Scale Excercises 20 min Learn new chord 10 min Chord switching excercises 10 min learn new scale or scale position 5 min run through previous scales 10 min Alternate picking excercises 20 min (should i jump straight into economy?) practice songs ? mins So yeah...thanks in advance.
finger stretching will come on its own... just start with basic left hand and right hand exercises..... remember always use alternate picking for whatever u play(in songs)... RH exercises u should be able to do this blind...!! 1) simple down picking (frm E to e) 2) simple upwards picking ( frm e to E) 3) above 2 exercises with alternate picking 4) alternate string picking (E to e) 5) alternate string picking (e to E) there are lots more... try these for a start.... dont concentrate only on chords.. coz ul end up regretting it.. im good at chords but leads need a lotta improvement so give equal importance to both chords n leads... all the best....
