                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Well I'm liking this new lesson;  'Seven Secrets to Six-String Success' by  Kale Good.  Ecspecially the part where he says that you need to have specific goals, like scales, yeah they're good to learn but what I was doing (some years back) was just pick a random scale on any given day and run through it for 20-30 min. After doing this for a few weeks or maybe months, I found i wasn't acheiving any real musical goals. <br><br>Tabs are good for learning songs, think about getting a teacher to help with technique and give feedback.   Good Luck<br> :D <br><br><br><br>Pat]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Thanks for the input, and sorry for my delay in getting back.  I would say a Im a complete beginner.  I know a few chords, but I tend to satt playing tabs to my favorite songs.  I probably need to memorize more chords and start playing scales.  My main music interest is Metal.  I hope this little bit of info helps you, help me. LOL!   TIAV<br><br><br>Andy]]></content:encoded>

This one (<a href="https://www.guitarnoise.com/help/practice-time/">https://www.guitarnoise.com/help/practice-time/</a>) is more or less an introduction to others.<br><br>I always prefer a structured practicing as well. Usually I study with instruction books and I perform every exercise in them. Sometimes I also add other songs from time to time.<br><br>What kind of music do you want to play now?]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Great song, but not what this is about, lol.<br><br>I recently became a stay-at-home dad.  My kids are in school during the day, so I have 2-3 hrs of total guitar time.  I have played on and off for a few yrs, with no real practice structure.  I was hoping now that i have so much time, i could really start busting a move on my learning. Can anyone tell me what kind of practice schedule they would recommend for me?  Ie.  30 mins chords, 30 mins scales?   I am one of those people who need structure, or I will just sit in front of my comp and play tabs all day.  Thanks in advance.<br><br><br>Andy.]]></content:encoded>
