Similarly, I am practicing and not sure that my practice is effective. I have looked at the "How to Practice" tutorials but there seems to be very little information about what to practice - those tutorials seem to focus more on the how, attitude, mindset, etc. A typical session for me looks like:
- Tune the guitar
- Spider exercises with metronome
- Scales (major and pentatonic) with metronome
- Chord shapes. 20x each chord I know
- Guitar tricks videos or working on chord changes
Some days I only do 20 - 30 minutes and other days I stop myself after 90 minutes. I think what I need is someone to tell me I am on the right track or to tell me what I need to add / take away from my routine. For example, where does ear training fit in ?
This is where I'm at as well.
I need someone to tell me, "Do these drills every day. Then do this, then that..."
I follow along with the beginner lessen plans, but I feel like I need to add more exercises - I just don't know what.
I received a guitar as a Christmas gift in 2020 (I thought it was 2021) so every Christmas that passes, and I still suck, I get bummed out, lol
I need to bare down and focus, but having a set practice plan would help a bunch
