Practice plan

Hi everyone, I have dipped into classical guitar every now and then usually just to escape to the safety of my Les Paul. I decided at the beginning of the year to try and attempt to improve and take it seriously. The photo is my proposed practice plan for March. Mark

    Thanks for posting this, Mark - it's always interesting to see how others approach practicing. Just to be clear, is this what you are proposing to do on a daily basis? (If so, that's a lot of practicing! 😲) In any event, you are certainly more disciplined than I am!  My own approach is probably best described as 'work on whatever comes to mind, whenever I happen to feel like it'. (Not the formula that gets anyone to Carnegie Hall ...)

    • David Krupka Hi David, thank you for your reply. It is intended to be a daily routine, I am lucky enough to have the time, I just want to give it a good go before I get too old.

      Mark Thirlwell Well, it looks like you'll be giving it a very good go indeed! You're already playing at a very good standard (I enjoyed your 'Sueno' video) so I expect you'll soon be at that elusive 'next level'. (Admittedly a silly expression!) You're working on some really great repertoire, all of it rather difficult! Personally, I try to have a few easy pieces going alongside the challenging ones - that way, even if there are a few 'fails' along the way, there's bound to be something to show for all the effort. (Actually, it's been a long time since I've had anything at all to show, but that's another story ...) Anyhow, I look forward to hearing more of your playing, should you choose to share it with us. Cheers!

    • David Krupka thank you again David. You are correct it is difficult sometimes to identify what the next level is and whether you have got anywhere near it but I have to give it a go and keep trying, keeps my ageing brain engaged if nothing else. Thanks again
