Practice plans

 

I have created this section that you can post your practice plans and workouts in order to compare them with other students and to get some workout and practice tips from me. The practicing is very important to keep your guitarplaying going - so please take some time to read my article about practicing http://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/guitarschoo...p?showtopic=178

 

After that try to create your own practice plan which fits into your daily schedules to create the regularity which is required that you make progress on your guitarplaying. If you are a beginner or nearly a pro - the practicing process never stops and always has to be adapted to your current level and your timemanagement and your short - and long term goals you have.

 

How do you create a practice plan ?

 

1 . Open a new topic.

2 . Check how much time you can invest in a regular manner. Best would be daily, but if this is not possible try to make a plan to create that regularity.

3 . Define your short and long term goal in guitarplaying and write it down. Find out what is required to reach your goals. If you don't know it you can ask for advice in your pratice plan. I will give you some tips, add links and give you a honest opinion.

4 . If you think that you can manage the entire practice plan on the long term - you can start with your practicing. If not you have to reconfigure your goals and your practice plan. Therefore you can ask for my advice or discuss this with other students.

 

 

Here's now an example how a practice plan might look :

 

Timemanagement :

 

30 minutes daily ( at least )

1-2 hours on weekends

 

Current level

 

Can play basic rhythm guitar on blues & rock

Soloing on the basic pattern with basic licks

 

Goals

 

short term : play an entire song with my friends

long term : be flexible on any speed and any form of blues or blues-rock and have a freedom on improvisation over the whole fretboard

I shall... I think it should be a major part of our agenda... Being a big Covey fan, I think planning is most important to success. With planning there is focus or F.O.C.U.S. "Follow On Course Until Successful". Pretty cool eh... anyway, This well be the mainstay of my "focus" for sure...

 

Be great!

 

peace..

To keep the overview .... everybody open up a new own topic and write it down ( or copy paste it ) - this way we can keep things together.
