What are some tips that could improve my guitar playing?
I’ve been playing Hard Rock/Metal and Blues guitar for about 4-5 years and I’ve been working with theory on and off for the past year. Could anyone share a couple tips that could help me improve my playing? Anything that could help me in the long run, something to practice, anything really. I just feel like I should try to take in everything musical that I can if I plan to make a career out of it. Thanks in advance.
One really good idea is to develop a 10 or 15 minute warm up routine.
This will not only warm you up every day, but can be 10 minutes where you run through major scales, minor scales, major arpeggios, minor arpeggios, diminished arpeggios, (do over one octave, two octaves and three octaves), the minor pentatonic in all 4 positions etc
It would take many hours to put this together.
But then every day, you’d be geting faster at these.
And once you’d master all these your playing would improve a lot

Play 12 hours a day everyday. Listen to everything Rock and Blues. Try to imitate everything you hear. Seriously.
