I have my Tele in my hands while watching TV, volume off, just plunking strings. If the show gets boring, the volume knob goes to 10. Whole Tone Scale is becoming easier by doing this. Playing that sucker back and forth repetitively is beginning to show benefits. Never thought I'd get that one down.

[@MrLastlived]

Totally gonna steal this routine.

[@moncorp1]

My routine is watching 5 hours of YT videos. No playing, just watching.

[@CrysisMusic]

[@chrisbassartist4344]

I'm a bassist and been following your channel and I've gotten a lot from watching and listening to your videos..I started following because I write my own songs for a solo cd and for my band and program the guitars and want them to sound real and not write stuff that's impossible for a real guitarist to play and your channel is great for that and inspires me with the bass as well so thanks!! 🤘🏻

[@SteeleResolve]

I know this is an older video but thanks for making it. Started following you last year and I just got back to playing guitar mostly because I didn't have one to practice on but now I'm back at it. Hopefully soon I'll have a rig to play my guitar through. This was a major help in getting back on track I can't thank you enough! 🤘

[@dmxdre]

That weird noise at 6:58 completely threw me off I thought my desk was about to collapse. Otherwise great video!

[@kyliehazard7200]

Lmao 😂

[@onevoiceinc]

That Byzantine lick was shredderific. Sounded awesome.

[@emilmllerbuus6051]

Hey Taylor! It would be so nice if you made a video where you suggested solos to start out with doing ear training! That would be very helpful. Love your videos!

[@hart1090]

Man I wish I had 2 hours a day to practice! Love you videows though! Always helpful :)

[@HughManatea]

I usually just try following Alex Lifeson, and Johnny mar. Learning some of there works has helped a lot. That byzantine looks like something to try. Your channel is really well made.

[@STRATOHOLICRichman]

The byzantine sounds badass man... seems like something that would be good to play over a Lydian track

[@endriu55]

It wouldnt work...

[@TheBoglodite]

Lydian ♯2 ♯6 is actually the 2nd mode of the byzantine scale?

[@curefan28]

I think this is great once you've already learned the basics of all the major areas. But if there's things you haven't done yet, it's better to get a basic working ability over a couple of weeks. For example, I never bothered learning triads. Rather than begin learning it for 15 mins every few days it's better to get decent at it first by making triads my primary area of practice for a while. Once I've gained some knowledge and ability, then I can build on it for 15 mins a couple times a week.

[@SuperRema111]

[@gregoftheyoyo]

Yo! Whole tone is my favorite scale with octatonic being a close second. Great video)

[@XxS4NN4SxX]

I wish I could spend that time during school days. At least I made some improvements in my time management and now I play 15 min before lessons. Next step is to find another 15 minutes!

[@m4rcus411]

You think you have no time when you still go to school? Haha, wait for working

[@TheRaviotar]

Syrenx Maybe he means uni, I have way more time now that I'm working than I did when I was taking 6 or 7 classes per semester. High school though, yeah I agree. I probably practiced like 3-4hr per day back then.

[@jonahbrodbeck2000]

You'll have plenty of time if you set your priorities.

[@johnthecat2150]

On the note of chord inversions and little wing in particular, that song is almost perfect to do an exercise I came up with. Pick a 5 fret range anywhere on the neck, and play little wing (or another song you like that uses more than 4 chords) using as many different chord inversions as you can find in the area through the verse and chorus. Then find another 5 fret range and do it again. Then another. Then start mixing them all together.

[@dabz4506]

I should have doing this routine.. Thanks mate! Keep Shredding !

[@Sphereal]

That alt picking exercise should be done with a clean tone, I think.

[@therealzanemalik2603]

Miguel Márquez to get a clearer note in any effect i think so too

[@cloroxbleach3838]

I've heard that if you play with distortion on it helps you know if you're playing clean and not sloppy.

[@martyg8137]

Ledzep9620 yeah with distortion you'll get more noise so you become more aware of any sloppiness.

[@vox1003]

Just a little gain and compression so you can hear the note clearly

[@molochsorcery4357]

I like using compression with a clean tone when practicing because I can hear my mistakes clearly. Ugh. Forces me to stop and realize what I'm either doing or not doing and correct myself. However your mileage may vary...

[@julieshoneybee]

You playing slowly is me shredding. I need to practice a lot !!

Thank you!

[@IgnorancEnArrogance]

I always start wanting to have a specific practice routine with a simple goal and get going practicing the major and penatonic scales for 15 minutes, I may learn a new lick or two, butr then I get distracted and noodle for the next two hours. It's harder to commit to the full practice routine than beginning it for me.

[@KY-wv9yy]

Sweet!

[@poqs1]

Me: plays smoke on the water by ear then with metronome feels like a legend

I like useful videos!! going to try the same alternate y sweet picking exercises. Also agree on exercising musically I currently use the software capo to slow or speed up backing tracks and to change pitch. Very useful and makes practice a lot more fun if you play over something.

[@kotarodesu_23]

Damn I never knew Scarce played guitar, rock that shit my guy

My practice: come up with my own exercise and put it in musical context as part of composition.

[@coopergoss350]

just a beginer but i made a pretty good practice routine:) 1. warm up,(Eruption by van halen) 2.play slowly( i go 80000 bpm but im just a beginer so you can go faster) 3. work on sweep picking/shredding 4. learn a few hendrix/stevie ray vaughn/slash solos (i know its easy, but im just staring out) 5. work on/learn at least 7 pentatonix scales 6. random improvising, just have fun! xd :)

[@tillpera9559]

I wanted to cut it midway through but then you said that you always have to have a musical context like a song you like. Thats so true! Practicing something because it exists never appealed to me :D

[@Nickball97]

A great routine based on songs could be: Alternate picking: the unison section (not unison solo) of Dream Theater's Metropolis 1 Sweep Picking: Again from Dream Theater, the intro sweeps from Glass Prision Odd time signatures: Playing Dance of Eternity (from Dream Theater) to a metronome. Also serves as a general practice across all skills. Then scales of your preference, sight reading and improvising (learning your favorite solos helps too)

[@ritvikkarra1916]

Basically be John Petrucci. Not easy.

[@Nickball97]

Ritvik Karra hahaha well, becoming a good guitarist it's not supposed to be easy, but if you can work your way to be able to play John's stuff, then you're surely going to be a great guitarist.

[@jcm4762]

Nicolas Arango I think the Glass Prison arpeggios are alternate picked.

[@johnulcer]

I appreciate the gesture with this video but I just find it way too difficult to learn guitar from videos like this. No matter how much it's slowed down. Maybe a first person perspective with a VR headset would make it easier haha. That being said your presentation is one of the better I've seen here and I appreciate the book recommendations.

[@jameswilkes451]

That weird creaking at 7:00 genuinely made me think that either my headphones were gonna break, or my skull was moving around. Freaky. The video was excellent though and taught me quite a lot.

Lol the first sweep I ever learned was Leper Messiah as well! 😂

[@sadasuni]

[@wannelyuba]

Hey Tyler, did you first learn all of these techniques separately and spend a lot of hours focusing on only one technique or have you always had a practice routine like this? The reason why I am asking this is if you really practiced in this way ever since you started guitar I really do congratulate you on the amount of skill you acquired given the short time periods you dedicate to each aspect of guitar playing. Keep up the good work!

Is it important to leave a gap between the palm of your hand and the neck of the guitar? When wrapping my thumb around the neck, I find it difficult to leave a gap because my fingers are kind of short.

When you practice, do you use a timer for every 15 minutes, or do you just estimate?

[@jacobmalet5773]

You said to practice based on who you listen to... now I’m JUST getting into guitar. Like yeah I’ve been playing basic chord (G, D, Em, A, E. C) for 5 years and just putting a capo on a song that needs it.. but now I’m really wanting to get into the deep part of it.. I play piano too.. been playing for 8 years... anyway I’ll get to what I need to say.... I really like Eric Johnson and I’m literally just throwing myself into the hard stuff and I’m just trying to play Cliffs Of Dover... what kind of exercise can I do to possibly help with me wanting to play that song?

[@chuckmottmusic1915]

In a nutshell, from a guitar player who's been playing for over 40 years: every "routine" I have ever seen has been some version of a:) Practicing scales including major scales and modes, melodic minor, diminished, pentatonic b:) practicing all arpeggios in a key c; running your scales in intervals,3rd 4th and 5th intervals d:) learning chords, inversions, extensions e:) picking (don't forget finger style as as alternate and sweep picking, and legato). If you don't know your notes on your neck, major and minor scales, and how chords are constructed in the context of a major scale, start there. And most importantly, learn covers and how to play with others (much different then jamming to jam tracks in your bedroom). Transcribe solos.

[@Mn2rockxz]

[@cfcjatimpark5661]

i hope u can be my personal guitar teacher some day hehe

[@RobGADV]

I have a question and several suggestions. First: Where do you rest your right hand on the guitar when you're picking? I can't quite tell in the videos. But I've been trying to figure out where to place my hand without unintentionally muting the strings. Now, the suggestions.. Ever consider using Periscope? It'd be a great way to do live Q&As. And, less serious but still worth suggesting... how about live-streaming, or even just recording and posting (without [much] editing) one of your daily practices? Nah, I like the Periscope idea better.

[@apexwindowcleaningservices4457]

Rob G Rest it on the bass strings that you don't want ringing out. It took me a while to discover this myself.

[@mikehawk5416]

Rob G In some situations you can press your pinkie finger on the pick guard, I don't do that often but if you really need to or want to.

[@shmulik5480]

should I rest my pinky finger on the board when doing alternate picking or should I lift it?

[@purify_guitar]

I'm beginning today and doing some research as to what I should be doing for practicing and I was planning on practicing (not counting playing) for half an hour a day. Is that too little? Should I be doing more?

[@HanifiDst]

PRACTICE and dont give up

[@lastshanty]

Taylor Carter Keep at switching between the open and the barre chords. You'll suck in the beginning, but keep at it. It gets better. Put the non barre notes first, then the barre finger, when you switch from an open chord, to make it easier. And don't worry about speed, do it slowly, you'll get there eventually!

[@RBolognese]

Taylor Carter like with everything on guitar , the key to overcome hurdles is simple . Practice more . Period . Especially spend more time on tour areas where your struggling . It'll come eventually .
