No one has to practice just 'one thing' or one lesson.

I suggest you find the time or make the time to practice multiple things/lessons/drills. Emphasize those areas you need to improve. Scales, chords/triads, new songs, review of old songs, GT structured lessons... I practice them all and more during my practice sessions.

There are two very important considerations, though. One, there will always be guitarists better than you and guitarists not as good as you. There will always be guitarists who learn blazingly fast and those who are slow to get stuff right (raising my hand here ). [u]It's not a competition[/u]. Two, have fun. None of the practice time and lesson study is worthwhile if you don't have fun when you pick up a guitar.

Good luck... and have fun.
