Hey everyone!
Figured I would kick off some theory discussion with what's become my practice routine.
I pick 1 key a day and do the modes, arpeggios, and melodic and harmonic minor scales to kick things off. I also do one of those finger crawl to get my right and left hands working together. All this is done with a metronome to keep things consistent.
I printed off the Ted Dunbar books and I am slowly working through that, as well as "Sheets of Sound" by Jack Zucker which is an awesome book but it is more of a jazz book, particularily the improv techniques of Coltrane and Pat Martino.
I was able to hook up Youtube to my TV so I have been finding some instructional vids on there that I practice a lick or two on depending on the day.
Lastly, I have the scan to Hoist's songbook, currently working on Julius.
Then I jam and get song idears onto my Jamman Stereo, which has become an invaluable tool for practicing. On the gear side of the house I finished wiring up my board DIY style and got the Whammy V (gotta love time and a half!)
What are you guys working on?
No practice for me lately. I'm spending the rare personal guitar time I've been getting with composing a bunch of rock tunes. So far got 6 songs done, and about 5 more in the works. However, teaching 30+ guitar lessons each week is keeping me at bay through whatever stuff I'm working on with various students.

Teaching is still a great workout though...
