How To Create An Effective Guitar Practice Routine
Do you practice  guitar for too much hours but can’t see real results in your guitar playing? Do  you know why you are struggling to get better at guitar regardless all the time  you are practicing? 
I also suffered  this same dilemma, but after some years of trying various strategies on my own,  I discovered four key foundations for ensuring great results from any time I  practice guitar and started to make progress. These are the four key foundations  of a perfect guitar practice routine:
Key #1: Train  With The Best Quality Guitar Practice Materials... That Are PROVEN To Bring Big  Results
Having the best  practice schedule is a critical step for making progress, but it won’t make you  a better guitar player if you use poor materials (like “lessons” from amateur  guitar teachers / YouTube videos). Without the best practice materials, you  simply can’t get any better at guitar. 
To distinguish  poor guitar practicing materials from great ones (the ones that apply to you  and your specific guitar playing goals) you need to know this:
1. The finest  materials aren’t created in isolation. They need to be coordinated into a  strategy built especially for you and your musical goals (this is one reason  why the vast majority of YouTube content is excluded).
2. The best  materials are given to you by an experienced guitar teacher. You identify an  expert guitar teacher not by looking at his / her playing skills, but at the  skill level his / her guitar students have developed. The better students  a guitar teacher has, the better the chances are that he / she will give you  high quality practice materials.
Key #2:  Efficient Guitar Practice Scheduling
Most guitarists  fall into two categories when it comes to using a guitar practice schedule:
1. Guitar  players who keep looking for a single practice schedule that will make them  great players.
  2. Guitar  players who consider guitar practice routines to be boring and pointless. 
No one in these  two categories knows how a guitar practice routine actually works... and  because of this, their guitar playing will never improve like they want it to.
The perfect  guitar practice schedule is based on your own guitar playing goals and  practicing preferences. This makes it both effective and enjoyable. To  understand how to combine these elements, check out this article about the best way to practice guitar. 
Notice: No  matter how many results a practice schedule is giving you today - it will  eventually stop working. Why? Because as soon as your skills evolve you will  need to change your practice schedule, so that it adapts to your new skill  level.

Key #3: Being  Consistent In Your Guitar Practicing (It’s Not What You Think)
Being consistent  not only means “practicing guitar every day”, it means consistently  implementing all the key elements of a highly effective guitar practice  routine. Becoming a great guitar player is the result of consistent practice  over the long term.
The secret for practicing guitar  consistently is always keeping in mind the REASONS why you practice guitar and  why you want to become a great guitar player. Continuously remind yourself how  great it will be when you finally become the guitarist you want to be. This  will drive you to do whatever you need to do to make it happen, and help you  stick to your practice routine. 
All of these  items build upon each other and create what I call the “guitar playing progress  loop”. Improve each item of the loop and you’ll achieve fast results in your  guitar playing. 
Key #4:  Practicing Guitar With Total Concentration
If realize you  are practicing guitar mindlessly, it doesn’t really matter how much  time you spend on it because this kind of practice will get you nowhere. If you  aren’t fully focused, you aren’t really practicing. If you get easily  distracted... you aren’t practicing, you are merely playing. This won’t help you accelerate your guitar playing  progress. 
Think of your  mind as a magnifying glass - With the right amount of focus and concentration,  a small point of sunlight can be used to create fire. This is the power of a  focused mind... use this same focus when practicing guitar.
