As we head towards the end of this series, we need to discuss how to practice properly to see actual progression. In this lesson, we go over how practicing tiny things will benefit you more than practicing everything all at once, especially if you don't have all the time in the world.

Hey Christian, I watched a couple of time this video "Fretboard Method - Ch. 9 - Side D (Practicing Smaller Things)" and I would like you to discuss a little bit about how you would spend your practice time. Let's say you have 2 hours a day. Would you immerse in a single topic or would you concentrate on different topics let's say 10 to 20 minutes each, to be repeated every day until mastered? I think the point is focused repetition every day

This varies depending on the person, but there is no way I can practice a single topic for 2 hours. It is almost guaranteed diminishing returns will kick in and I'll start to feel fatigued on the topic. Instead (and this is me personally) I will focus on a topic and spread it out over multiple days and simply practice it everyday until I feel good. I need my brain and hands to reset and a good nights sleep is the best for that. So if I do practice for 2 hours, I'll work on a topic but I'll also do other things. I also do not focus on time whatsoever, I instead focus on how comfortable I feel with the topic. If it takes 10 mins great, if it takes 45 mins great. I would always focus on accomplishing tiny goals as opposed to focusing on how long you are working on it.
