When it comes to practicing the guitar, it's not really rocket science. There is no "wonder method" or special routine that is going to propel you to greatness versus what makes common sense. Despite the claims from so-called experts, and those individuals that have profited mightily from telling you otherwise, nothing is going to replace hard work. Of course there are some things that will help you get the most out of your practice time.

Obviously relaxing is the first order of business. There is no need to put a death grip on the neck, or feel like you have to push the strings through the fingerboard. Being comfortable during your practice session is very important and will help your effectiveness, increase blood flow, and assist in developing proper technique. Next, one should have a routine of what to practice. I like to follow a routine which is actually common among professionals. Starting with simple finger exercises is a recommended norm. In my case, I will run through various scales and modes, using both legato and various picking techniques. This gets the fingers warmed-up and ready for further action. Remember, there are over 200 muscles in your hands and fingers. When you play guitar, you are using those muscles on a continuous basis, whereas most people only use them sparingly. Repetitive finger exercises build these muscles up and will help develop the all important "muscle memory". The best way to describe muscle memory, is that it allows you to play a practiced song or riff, without having to even think about it, or for that matter without having to even look at what you're doing.

Logically speaking, of course, to know what you should be practicing, I recommend starting with formal guitar lessons. This can be done in-person or with online guitar lessons. Video guitar lessons can also be a great supplement to online guitar lessons, or to the in-person variety. The online guitar lesson phenomena is something that is growing fast in popularity. It involves you, your computer, a good internet connection, and a good webcam. Online guitar lessons are then accomplished using a free messaging service like Skype, which allows you to make video calls at no cost. When you take lessons, and your teacher provides you with an assignment to practice, accomplishing that builds up confidence, and validates your progress. These are two essential ingredients to success. Enjoying something you are spending so much time doing, and building up the confidence that you can get better, is a big key to success. Winning small battles on the guitar and making progress, will keep your interest level up, and prevent you from putting that guitar down is some dusty corner.

That being said, the most important part of practicing is having the time and desire to repeatedly play the same passages until they are mastered. It's all about persistence. To accomplish greatness you must put the time in. I've heard many live interviews of famous musicians to support this. Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne has repeatedly stated that 8 hours a day simply isn't enough. Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott from Pantera and Damage Plan, who was a good friend of mine, before his untimely murder, would tell you the same thing. He would practice 10 to 14 hours a day at times! The sessions always started as detailed above, relaxing, getting comfortable, and finger exercises to warm-up. Of course these are professional musicians. You can learn to be a very good guitar player with less practice time. The point is to have a regiment, and remember, start with basics. Taking online guitar lessons, in-person lessons, or a combination of online and video guitar lessons will lay the foundation on where to start and what to practice.

There are lots of guitar teachers out there and choosing the right one is important. Being taught the fundamentals and proper technique is the key to practicing the things that will make you a great guitar player. An example of a teacher that has tremendous credentials, and that provides high quality, online guitar lessons can be found here at http://www.cyberguitarman.com
