Hello, I'm quite curious about other beginners' practice routines. How long do you practice ? What is your frequency ? What do you practice ? Do you have some insights to share ?...

My routine is to practice 2 or 3 times a day, for 45 minutes to an hour. I start with spider legs, followed by a few G major scales. Then I practice chord changes with a metronome (4 strums / switch / 4 strums / switch /...) The metronome allows me to monitor my progress. After playing every possible switch in the 5 chord power pack, I play one or two melodies from earlier lessons and I finish of with some spider legs and another few G major scales. I try to make some progress every time I practice. This doesn't mean that I try something new every time, but for now, I increase the rythm for my chord changes... I'm really happy that I'm able to play 'Cross the Line' at full speed by now
