ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Creating a guitar practice schedule that works is for many aspiring guitar players quite an insurmountable task.
We all have a limited amount of time that we can put into guitar practice, but there are far too many things we would like to master.
It is a constant struggle to find the right balance.
I wrote in my past articles about the benefits of having a well-planned guitar practice routine and I still believe that having a consistent routine is a game changer. No matter what is your skill level, you can always benefit from developing effective practice habits.
Few years ago I started to study all the available materials on effective learning and skill acquisition and I quickly realized that there is lot of stuff I need to learn. Beside studying these materials, I started to ask accomplished guitar players what are they thoughts on effective guitar practice. It is probably my favorite topic when it comes to guitar playing (I think you know that, right?) I don’t care so much about gear, but I really do care about learning strategies.
And as I found out, I am not the only one. In my interview with famous jazz educator Les Wise we talked a lot about that and also Nicholas Tozier from songwritten is quite a guitar practice nerd.
Moreover, in my latest podcast episode remarkable guitar player Steve Krenz emphasized the importance of having a well-structured practice session.
