Using some of the same logic above, I decided to do both at the same time...'cause I'm interested in 'everything' and was having a hard time deciding which way to go first. So, I do Country in one practice set (along with some exercises and song lessons/practice) and Blues in another (with other exercises and scale work). But then, I've got the time to practice... the two sets add up to three hours a day (that's fingers-on-strings time exclusive of set up, breaks, and the little interruptions and delays common to practice sessions). On the other hand, time devoted to actual Country and Blues lessons is only a half-hour for each.

This may not be for everybody but I'm really enjoying both lesson sets...and each has imparted skills and techniques that I expect to use a lot down the road...
