... what would that be?


At some point I put the 5 positions of the minor pentatonic up on my wall for monday to friday


What exercises/tricks/concepts do you guys have up your sleeves?
What would you consider "most bang for buck" when it comes to exercises/pratice time?

1 & 1a are telepathy & telekinesis.

Imagination aside, I have old hand injuries with mostly numb pinkies and screwy rigor mortis ringfingers.
So my reality is painfully boring: practice dexterity and transition/timing fingering exercises

I started practicing the segovia scales so that my pinky wouldn't be some vestigial appendage.
A lot of people hate them for various reasons but they are really helpful for getting your pinky in on the action

I like to jam on Meshuggah's Bleed. Playing it slowly is really good for getting timing perfect and maintaining discipline with your wrist, and playing it fast is good because it is fucking hard to play fast! If I practice that once a day I play the guitar a lot better in general - even non-rhythmic guitar playing.

Pinch harmonics.

Chording, I want to play more complex chords.

proper stance, distance and volume for controlled feedback.

I have a genuine answer for the question posed but you guys have all been legit so far so I'm gonna leave my filth out of it.

I'd like to have the opportunity to practice guitar every day, that'd be a good start.

I'd strive to become the groove master of pick bass

Vega--beast.

Same as I do now.

Just play.

Not other people's material, not generic scales.

Let the instrument take you where it takes you.

I think only practicing one thing is fucking stupid, but for the sake of the thought experiment I would practice ear training; the best way to practice this is jamming along to songs or learning them by ear

^ wholeheartedly agree. Being able to transcribe/learn songs by ear/follow changes is far more useful than any one playing technique. Obviously assuming one has the basic ability to play an instrument first.
