A little practice piece from the other day. I'm working on creating more convincing/realistic skies and layering in landscape elements. I can honestly say that this is my first practice piece where I can see my own improvement from earlier practice sessions. This makes me happy and and excited to keep going. Let's put more paint on paper!

I see a lot of chat about the “right” #practice routine for #guitar, and I see people posting (to my mind) insane 2-3 hour technique sessions.

For me, if I’m actually pushing myself to improve technique then I find I’m tired after about an hour, sometimes less. Probably not finger/hand tired but brain tired. That hour will consist of 5-10 minute micro sessions, with short breaks.

After that I’ll need a longer break, and if I do anything else it’ll be quite different: improvisation, learning something about Logic, or just listening.

Perhaps it’s the fact that I’m now in my 40s, but I do wonder if these massive practice routines are effective.
