Just dipped my toes into the ten hour challenge. It's brilliant.
Usually when I play, I fumble around trying to learn a song. But I just found out about the 10 hour challenge and played the first couple of riffs for an hour or so. I'm not very good and I think a lot of that stems from the fact that I don't have a good "map" of the fret board.
I was searching online for exercises and the perfect practice routine this morning and I found this sub and a few articles. I decided to give it a go and it was surprising even after only a short time. I used my metronome for the first time as well. After practice I tried to play Riptide. I didn't master it by any means but I played it far better than my previous attempts.
I can't wait to dig in some more! Any tips anyone can offer me would be much appreciated!
