One of the most important free online guitar lessons you can find is what to practice. Many people will have different views on what do but they will all have some similarities.
The most important thing above all is just to be playing. Playing everyday is the key. You have probably heard before that it’s better to practice 1 hour a day for 7 days than it is to practice for 7 hours once a week. This is 100% true. Consistency is vital. I often tell my students that even if they have a million things to do during the day, to just spend at least five minutes before they go to sleep playing a finger exercise or something. The reason is you don’t want to start the habit of missing days of practice. Never give yourself permission to put off practicing a day.
Ok, so then what should you be practicing? First of all you should warm up. If you are using the Guitar Burning Speed program, go over the stretching exercises at the start of the program. Then do a very slow finger exercise. Now continue on with the rest of the routine.
If you are a beginner spend 5 minutes learning the notes on the guitar. You should be able to tell what every note on the neck is after a while.
Moving on you should learn a new scale or even just a new key everyday. Remember to review the scales and keys from previous days. Now don’t say you are going to TRY to learn a new scale or key everyday. Say are ARE going to! This attitude helps to get much more done because we don’t allow ourselves a day where we don’t accomplish something. Also spend time improvising with these new scales. Build your library of backing track CD’s so you have a huge variety of tunes to improvise over.
Next you should be working on chords. Learn new chords, new voicings of old chords, and new songs using the chords you are working on. I am a big believer of learning through songs. It will be much more interesting for you to learn a new chord when you can apply it to a song right away.
Lastly you should have time devoted to just jamming and having fun. Play songs you like to play or learn a new one if you want. It doesn’t matter this is your free time.
You may need to adjust this free online guitar lessons to fit you situation but use it a basis for designing your practice program.
