Although I'm constantly adjusting the length and content of my daily practice, my day's practice right now is roughly one third GT lessons, one third song practice and one third drills (chords and progressions, flexibility-stretch exercise and scales). That mix keeps things from becoming dry or boring and puts a lot of fun into the day's guitar playing.

Without practice I can't improve and the practice won't pay off if I don't stick with it. To move forward everyone must practice, some more than others. In my case, a lot more. I and you and everyone need to prioritize...make and take the time or give up the dream. Good luck...stick with it and you [U]will[/U] improve.

And don't give short shrift to Level 2...I think the GT course is well thought out and organized...and necessary to those that don't already know the material/have the skills. Take another look at the syllabus, http://www.guitartricks.com/course.php?input=2 ...there's a whole lot more than "music theory."
