Put a huge ticking clock in front of my face.
2 minutes speed building lick
2 minutes pick building lick
2 minutes hammer on pull of no pick
2 minutes 3-4 note scale in to a slow controlled bend for last note
2 minutes excerise that moves my hand all the way up the fret board and back
10 minutes playing chords in each of the major keys starting a C major, then when C major is finished, move on to D major... all the way through B major
10 minutes soloing to my favorite song, practicing phrases and rythmic patterns.
the most IMPORTANT part. STARE at that clock like your life depends on it, when 2 minutes are up, move on to the next excercise. Don't just randomly do an excercise until your bored of it. Do this for 2 weeks, and without distraction, everday.
Consistency will take you where you want to go.
oh, and...
Dude that's only 30 minutes.
sounds pretty good to me. i need to figure out something like that and then stick to it.
That seems more like a warm-up than a practice session but as a warm-up, it seems pretty good!
I like the idea xposed, perhaps you can post some of the exercises you do for each section?
http://www.packerforum.com/modules/LinkToUs/images/banner2.gifGood use of 30 minutes, but I would then say take another 30 minutes after that to review some songs and just have fun since it sounds intense.

Hey I mostly do these from the Into Advanced section on guitargrind.

Does this help at all?
I will take a look xposed, thanks for the new resource!
Why do you do the hammer on and pull off with no pick?
Tim
you get that jimi hendrix one hand hammer/pull tremolo thing. it's also a good finger exercise for your left hand, and improves your slur technique.
Well Glee,
The concept of doing a hammer on and a pull off is to eliminate the sound of picking it in the first place.
Does that help answer your question?
oh, so you dont even pluck the string?
Tim
oh, so you dont even pluck the string?
Well, usually, when you do a hammer-on or a pull-off, you DO pluck the string first but if you practice without plucking the string (only hammering-on, pulling-off), your fingers are forced to work harder to produce an audible note. So, when you'll pluck the string first, it'll be a little easier.
That's my theory anyway. :shock:
Yeah, I second that Puke =D
Sounds like a good routine.

2 minutes speed building lick
Can you give an example? Is it just like any scale pattern?? or somting else?
2 minutes pick building lick
And is this just concentrating on pick technique?
Thanks
