practice fretboard
scales ( choose a different key to play in each day )
technique ( tapping, legato , picking etc... )
learn to contruct chords / arpeggios from scales ( so dont look at any chord sheet )
understand how intervals work
practice for an hour, take a break, and repeat.
Sorry about this but please, ignore this advice.
I'm willing to help you for free because I value the fact you're showing a major intrest in something which means so much to me.
I play for 3+ Hours a day on a weekday and 4+ On a weekend. Been playing around 13 years, take or give a few months that it! If you want to have a chat about this then feel free to PM me and I can help you with anything you need help with. I also never had a tutor, everything I know came from books I own and sites I've been on and general experience in bands, and as a solo musician which I still live for!
-Peace out, Jamie.
