I recently got the Blues Lead course and so far I’ve only watched one video lesson. I have the time these days to pick up the guitar and practice, but usually something interferes with my practice schedule. I don’t have a solution to this because any schedule I try to make for myself is like the wind, always changing.

It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

I have won $50k on a scratch ticket you end up with only about 36k but the daughters college has taken the last little bit of that we had left
Hey, that is great news. My wife, 2 years ago won 1 million yen, which is about $10 grand, but it went towards attorney fees to settle something between family members. Oh well, you win some and lose some. What college is your daughter attending. I went to Black Hawk College there in East Moline/Moline.

Although I am not a beginner I have been playing for 50 years, I always practiced when I felt like , time permitting, if I didnt feel like practicing I wouldnt do it because what I found is if I wasnt in the mood I wouldnt learn anything, when i felt like I would practice for as long as I could, these days I practice every morning between 5 and 7 oclock, obviosly without amplifiers on…lol…………Alex

I just began in January, but I try to follow a structured practice. I tune my guitar by ear, check it with an electronic tuner. I then to do finger dexterity exercises on all six strings, and some alternate picking exercises. This takes about 10 minutes. I do about 5-10 minutes of strumming practice with different rhythms (usually with a left hand mute so I can just listen to the strum) – trying to get the strum “hammered” into my brain so I can continue a strum without thinking about it. I then practice strumming through common chord progressions from the beginning songs I’m working on – A,D,E; G,C,D; A7,D7,E7; D,G,A.
After that, I play (or attempt!) to play some songs, experiment and generally reward myself with some fun exploration. I like having a structured session, and it seems to be helping me make progress.

That’s awesome! I think if I had a more structured schedule, I’d be farther along than I am. I’ve been learning on my own for about 3 years and sometimes it seems like I’m getting nowhere. These days my schedule doesn’t seem to allow for it though. I usually practice different songs whenever I get the chance to sit down with a guitar.

I’ve been trying to do 1h every day (early before I go to work).
I’ve been working on Brian’s rhythm guitar lessons and I’ll jam through the ones I can play first as a warm up and then work on the one that I am currently trying to master. Do some general chord changing practice in among that.
I’ll then do a bit of the Blues lead course, a bit of patterns and then run through the licks I have learned so far. Some bends and vibrato as part of that.
I’ll then use the remaining time to try and work out part of a song by ear. I’ve got a couple on the go where I’m trying to work out the solo part. With varying degrees of success 😉
