Alright guys, I have the attention span of a dog seeing a squirrel sometimes and I need to focus and show some discipline. I purchased a year subscription to Music Is Win's lessons and was learning some cool new stuff, but it is EXTREMELY theory drenched at first and a bit overwhelming. I was spending lots of time with it, but then started watching a bunch of videos and researching Maine since I was working towards moving up that way and my focus in my freetime shifted to that. While I have just recently started getting back into actually playing guitar more and getting my chops back up to where they were a few months ago when I was playing/practicing 4-6 hours a day, I may need some fresh new meat.
I have been playing 30'ish years and would consider myself beginner levels of advanced. I know some theory, I have enough speed and dexterity to play most any actually humanly attainable guitar solo (if I had the patience, or need to actually learn it), but I need a list of exercises and drills to sit down and actually work on. When I'm just noodling around, I always go back to the exact same handful of licks and such and it gets annoying. Every time I see a YouTube video where some guitar god wants to push "practice this" or "this is a good daily routine" it almost always comes up empty and seems like clickbait or you have to pay for their $59.99 course that only focuses on that one thing. If I paid for every course I found, I'd be broke and there'd be so much to do at once, nothing would come of it.
I like the videos like Cameron Cooper, Robert Baker, etc put on YouTube where they're showing some cool licks to add to your repertoire, but there's never really any tabs you can get and I don't have the patience to sit there and pause/restart the video 100 times just to tab down what they're doing so I can practice it later.
Anyways, if any of you have a practice routine you wanna share with me, I'd really appreciate it. I'm thinking something like here are some drills to start with to warm up your fingers and get them moving, here's some scale patterns you can play afterwards that'll help ingrain your modes and here's the progression you're playing it over, after that play these cool progressions with these chord voicings and inversions, and here's some tabs of licks for playing in the style of this guy, that guy, etc.
