Hi Ryan,

I started in January. I can share what I do but by the sounds of it you are way ahead of me.

My practice is very structured. I commit an hour each morning before work. My routine is based on learning chords, transitions, licks, and songs. I keep a journal of what I want to work on next day.

To determine what chords I am interested in, that's easy. I learn what I need to learn to play the songs I want to play. So far I've learned maybe 12 and I have no intention of learning every chord.

Licks are based on scales. Nothing fancy, just easy stuff that seems to sound appropriate to the backing track. But again, you are ahead of me here. You know way more scales than me.

Songs are based on what I like.

Timing:

I am learning that 3 aspects are very important.

1) I do use a metronome when doing scales.

2) I am forcing myself to count out loud along with the instructor

3) I use the loop function heavily. I will stay and stay on a section and play along with it endlessly until I have it down in time with the instructor.

Lastly, in my practice, I will give a little time to reviewing something I learned a few months ago. Just to see if it sunk in. So far so good.

Good luck
