What you’ll learn
- Set a daily goal.
- Track your progress.
- Combine technique and repertoire.
Before you practice
Practice for 20 to 30 minutes a day and divide your time between warming up, chord changes, rhythm and songs.
Focus on chords and pulse for the first ten days. Add more changes and start full songs on days 11 to 20. Use the last ten days for continuity, dynamics and recording.
Log the tempo at which each exercise sounds clean. Start a little slower next time and increase the tempo once you can repeat without tension.
Lesson exercise
- 5 min: tuning and warm-up.
- 8 min: chords and changes.
- 7 min: rhythm with a metronome.
- 10 min: repertoire and a short recording.
