guitar practicing schedule
Practice makes perfect… this sound really cliche, but why this quote became popular knowledge? Cause its goddamn true. Its true when it comes to guitar playing as much as with sports or study. You have to practice guitar every day in order to become a better guitarist, and a good guitar practicing schedule can help you a lot.
Its better to practice 20 minutes every day than 3 hours once a week, you have to make guitar practicing a part of your daily life.
Something that i hate is to schedule stuff, saying “I’ll play guitar from 4:32pm to 5:47pm” sucks to me, i’m not saying that having a schedule is a bad thing, in fact, its a good thing… but i just simply don’t like it hehe.
I just play guitar when i want to, but i do it every day. When i’m writing and i don’t know how to continue my article i use to pick my guitar, play a while and get inspiration from that and sometimes i practice some chromatic exercises when i watch TV, but i get really focused when i’m trying to learn something new and if the new stuff i’m trying to learn is hard… yes, i make a practice schedule to master it faster.
If you want to improve really fast you need to schedule your stuff, you NEED a guitar practicing schedule, im not telling you to play 8 hours a day until you get tendinitis. If you focus in something very specific you can improve a lot with just 15 or 20 minutes a day for a few weeks.
This is an example of a guitar practice schedule:
Day 1
20 minutes: Practice tapping exercises.
15 minutes: Learn a new chord shape.
Day 2
20 minutes: Learn a new tapping exercise and practice it.
15 minutes: Learn some theory.
Day 3
35 minutes: Practice a guitar solo with tapping.
And so on…
As you can see with just 35 minutes you’ll be learning new stuff every day and improving your tapping skills! If you do this for a month you’ll improve a lot!
If you’re learning guitar with online lessons like Jamorama you’ll REALLY need a schedule like this to make your online guitar course work.
Make your own schedules for your specific needs and practice every day, that’s the way to become a better guitar player fast… there are no secrets.
