What I did was focus on an aspect of the guitar. For me it was technique. So learned all of the more internediate and advanced techniques. Alternate picking, tapping, sweeping, etc. Then, at the same time I did some of the lessons to buiild speed and dexterity and tried to learn some new scales and such.

That is just the way I went. You could also choose to focus on music theory or rythm work. It really is up to you.

A little birdie told me we might be getting intermediate and advanced guides in the future so be on the lookout!
