Putting up a practice program.

[Granskog]

So ive descided to put up a program for my technique practicing. These are the different sections:
-Legato
-Picking
-Sweeping
-Tapping

Now here's the question:
Do you think i should:
...dedicate one day of the week to each technique and practice that exclusively.
...play each a fourth of the practice time each day.
...develop exercises that incompases all of them.
...any other idea (like JUST practicing the one i find hardest...)
???



This is just for the practice time, of course im going to do plain playing as well (improvising etc.).

Practising one thing for too long seems to make it worse for me, so i would go for the second idea.

spend 15 minutes on each technique for 2 sets, then some fuck around time, then rhythym playing

I think malmsteen said it best, why sit for hours running through scales and such when you can just go learn songs that teach you the same thing in a much more pleasing manner.

I would strongly recommend learning the notes all over the fretboard, as well as intervals. Add some time for chord learning - why just learn power chords when there's fun stuff like Emin6add9 or G13? Then spend some time learning what scales/arpeggios go over your new chords. There's nothing wrong with your schedule above, but you should spend sufficient time practicing applications of what you're practicing as well.
