Topic: Ah, practice!
Well, tonight I played until I worked up a sweat....whew! I switched between several exercises. I tried to get Little Wing to sound as good as possible, played all the way through Cliffs of Dover veeeerrrrry slowly-while making sure to alternate pick when needed. I spent a good amount of time on tapping, and I timed myself while I tapped out a series of 3 notes for 2 minutes (not much, but man, was my hand hurting!). I also spent some time playing through a neo-classical style scale while making sure to alternate pick each note. Wow, that was just my actual "practice" for the night. Other time was spent just jamming on power chords , riffs, and working on my SRV blues-style licks (ie Texas Flood intro and Honey Bee intro). I'd say an evening well-spent! This probably is not much compared to what you veterans out there do lol...hopefully stuff like this will eventually pay off....
