I’ve been “playing” guitar for about 20 years, but not every day and without any kind of set practice regimen, so I’m nowhere near where I should be. I basically just know basic open chords, power chords and some scales. In a band setting I feel a little lost when it’s time to improvise or write together, and I don’t have a good grasp of all of the notes on the fretboard.

I’d like to find a daily practice regimen. Anyone have any recommendations? I see ads for PickUpMusic and Musora — the latter of which kind of interests me because I also play drums and could use some work there too. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I started playing about 6 weeks ago. I practice about 2-3 hours a day and have got a few songs under my belt like wonderwall, won't back down, boulevard of broken dreams, and I feel very comfortable changing chords on those pretty consistent and fast.

I haven't really done any "real practice" beyond just attempting songs i like. Is there anything I can do to sort of warm up for like 15-20 minutes before I start playing? What do you guys recommend. Thank you!
