Desperately needing guitar learning methods - please help

[zabrak]

Right,

so basically I'm going to practice the guitar for about 6 hours a day on weekdays (after work starting 6 PM until midnight), and all day on weekends. I would only take breaks when I deserve it (say I master a full Metallica or Zeppelin album, then I'll give myself a few days of leisure time).


However I'll need to have a set schedule to follow, if I want to properly practice the guitar for 6 hours a day throughout the weekdays on all day during the weekends....

...Which is where you guys come in. Can anybody here share me any websites or methods or whatever that you guys used, to learn how to play?

Help would be FANTASTICALLY appreciated bros.

~OH~ and can I have your completely honest opinion on what I eventually what my guitar to look like?

It'll be a gibson Les Paul, and I plan on getting a proper custom paint job, to have this done:

That American flag shield applied to the guitar, with the gold outline, blood red stripes and all

People have boringly applied the american flag to it, but my idea will be different.

Think of America's coat of arms:

or this Marshal Aid logo:

But it'd what you see in the first link above. I think it'd separate my guitar from the rest while still looking nice.

To the OP: that's ambitious and best of luck. Here's my input for a breakdown of techniques and methods:

Hour one:
Basic alternate picking to click track or foot tap -

1) Single string, 8th notes, 16, etc.
2) 3 note per string, all strings. Various patterns, not just straight up and down.
3) inside string only.
4) 4 notes per string, all strings, 8th notes, 16th, etc.

Hour 2:
Sweep picking, 6 strings, partial, various speeds.

Hour 3: Learn songs, ideas. Marty Friedman tab is a good start.

Hour 4: Improv to a backing track if you are ready for it. Or work on bends/vibrato, pinch harmonics, etc.

Hour 5: Work on writing your own riffs/rhythm work. Work on your downpicking attack. Weak downpick attack sounds terrible in metal.

Hour 6: Repeat hour 1.

All that off the top of my head.
