Members TonicScale Posted April 17, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 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 Hi This My take for now... As most know I injured my Elbow and Wrist in a fall. I'm still healing but am able to play. However, I'm only able to play for about 20 mins a day. I have not really been able to pick up my guitar for about two months! This really suk'd more than you know. I did take this time to practice one handed touch on the upper frets, as well as theory. This was a great time to get into it with a little midi controller the theory that is here at the school and a lil book called "Music Theory for Dummy's"... So in this time of recovery I'm doing this... 10 to 15 mins of stretching. 10 mins of teaching my hand take a different grip (my old grip is painful), while playing 5 positions of pentatonic scales in a few different keys. I may throw a few different positions of the Ionian scale. about 5 mins playing just chords that are easy to grab, like, the E7-5 Hendrix (which is a cool movable chord) and D7-5 then about 5 to ten mins of just playing around with all to the about slowly for fun... then back to a light stretching. I'll start to mix it up a bit and add more as my arm will let me... I'm starting with basics as I have to revamp my entire playing style due to this injury. It's all good! I will emerge from this a stronger player... I know it! Peace... OBTW... Starching should be a part of your practice regiment. I'll be writing another article on this soon as well as how I work the online guitar school for maximum potential. This is a slow road... Worth it... Never put it down! it will never put you down for sure! Peace... TS... Randy 1 DragonPlanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HP I've been working a hectic schedule at work only just to be there in body. I finished all the spreadsheets weeks ago but I have to be there to work those that have no clue about entry. so I've spent much time at work cruising the net on issues down these lines also studying... Pretty cool. I'm editing one now, mostly to keep it simple and where to break it up. don't think it's good to post 20 pages all at one time... Hope all is well. I'm going for rest... Off for the next three days.. ahhhh... nice... peace... TS... Randy 1 DragonPlanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
