Guitar Scale

Plan a structure to your regular instrument practice. So as an example begin with warm up exercises. Runs across the neck slowly and pick up speed only when they are played correctly. Then maybe try chord sequences and learn new chords. Practice strumming. Try playing along to a known song for timing. Do not worry about mistakes sometimes they can produces great new ideas. It may be worth considering insurance. If you were to loose your guitar or have it stolen or it were to get badly damaged then insurance could be a nice solution.
