How to use the Guitartraining material:

On a daily basis of 1 hour, you should practise scales and arpeggios and chromatic exercises as a warm-up.
Take a metronome, play along with the metronome. Increase speed every couple of days.
Then pick one standard, learn the chords etc, then try to improvise along with the backing track or practise the written solos.

The problem is that there is no "best way" of practising. The Guitartraining material is not a step by step course, but offers different approaches to your instrument.

1. the technical aspect:
- you have to do daily exercises to improve your left and right hand technique (such as chromatic exercises, scales and arpeggios). This is the basis of all your improvisations. This can be fun when you notice that your technique and your knowledge about scales and arpeggios is getting better through the months. You have to stay concentrated while you´re practising, set yourself a specific goal each time you practise, don´t let yourself get distracted, don´t just "noodle" along.

2. the harmonical aspect
- practise blues voicings - as given in the book - learn them by heart, use them as "patterns". You won´t forget them anymore, but you can always try to put in your own ideas later.
- deepen your knowledge about the underlying interval structure in each chord you are about to play (which fretted note is what interval in the chord). Therefore use the chord diagrams that I have provided in the book.
- omit root notes, play chords in a higher fretboard position (as shown in all of the chord exercises), practise the given voicing exercises for the tunes provided in the pdf file. Don´t think and analyze every note you are playing, use the voicings as "licks", learn them by heart. Everything will brighten up later.
- learn the progressions of the tunes by heart, so that you can memorize the chords
