How Is The Practice Generator Able To Create Customized And Personalized Guitar Practice Schedules Just For Me?


Contrary to popular belief, creating a truly effective and efficient guitar practice schedule is NOT a "1 step process" of dividing up your available practice time evenly among all the items you have selected to practice. 

In fact, creating a truly personalized and effective guitar practice schedule requires performing 10 important steps.  These are the steps that the Practice Generator performs each time when creating your customized guitar practice schedules.  A brief description of these steps is below:

STEP 1: Commit yourself to creating a truly personalized and customized guitar practice schedule. Avoid using 'pre-made' cookie cutter or general schedules that are not specific to you.

STEP 2: Create a schedule that is big enough to include all items that you need to practice in order to reach your short and long term goals. To do this effectively, you will need to know how to distribute each of those many practice items across many days.

STEP 3: Learn to recognize how your various skill levels (for each individual item you need to practice) influence how often each practice item should be worked on.

STEP 4: Learn about the different strategies needed to reach your short and long term goals. Then build your guitar practice schedules around those strategies.

STEP 5: Learn about the different ways various categories of practice items should be practiced in order to master each of them.

STEP 6: Find out how to correctly balance the urgency of wanting to improve something and your quest to reach your short and long term goals.

STEP 7: Figure out how to harness the strengths of your 'personality type' so that your guitar practice schedules take this into account.

STEP 8: Next, after you've created your new guitar practice schedule, it is important to use an automated 'timer' that will keep track of your practice time for each item.

STEP 9: You need to track every minute of every item that you practice in a log. This is important not only for monitoring progress, but also for tracking items that you may have missed on a previous day.

STEP 10: Repeat steps 1-9 every 1-2 weeks. Your skill levels and challenges will evolve over time and your practice schedules need to do the same. 

Although it is possible to figure out how to correctly do all those steps on your own, this is an extremely time consuming process to follow on a regular basis (as you can see). 

This is where the Practice Generator comes into play.  The Generator performs all of these 10 steps for you using my extensive knowledge and experience of how each practice item is best learned and mastered combined with other information that you input into the program such as your strengths and weaknesses with each item, information about your musical goals, personality type and more. The results are the customized and personalized guitar practice schedules that will guide you towards reaching your musical goals.
