This is really kind of you, Rob. Thanks for all this encouragement and motivation. I'm happy to be doing some things right, but I really do need to slow down. I'll be coming back to this lesson lots.

Great tips, Rob. I was wondering if you would share what and how long you warm up before starting to practice? Sometimes I just play a song I already know that gets me in the mood to tackle something new, but usually I launch into the new material. These reminders are timely--thanks again.

I'm quite guilty on most counts save one: I finally broke down and bought a guitar that I love to play (the Fender American Pro Stratocaster in antique olive <a href="http://shop.fender.com/en-US/electric-guitars/stratocaster/american-professional-stratocaster/0113010700.html)." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://shop.fender.com/en-US/electric-guitars/stratocaster/american-professional-stratocaster/0113010700.html).</a> It's amazing how much more time I spend practicing because I enjoy playing my instrument.

That's a beautiful machine you have! Glad that it's bringing you joy and better quality practice!

Haha, you're far from being alone. These are all things that every musician has been guilty of. Always room for improvement!

Aw, that's alright, we're all working toward improving our work ethic, and general approach to practice. I think it helps to shed light on the problems, and work toward proactive ways of reaching our goals. Best. -Rob

Session guitarist Tommy Tedesco says the same things. He practiced and played for hours at a time and saw giant results.

I'd love for the next lesson to include a warm-up routine you use. Great advice.... Thanks Rob!

This post came at a great time for me. A few weeks back I started breaking my practice routine into segments, and timing them to make sure I was spending at least 15 minutes on whatever I'm working on. The first few times I did it I realized I was probably spending 2-3 minutes on each song before jumping to another one before breaking out the timer (and metronome)! I'm really happy with how much improvement I'm seeing since changing the routine.

Great points well said! Unfortunately guilty on about 9/10 counts..! I love the point about being stacked up with craft beers!
