Practice Routines can be a powerful tool to improve your playing. Not only do they keep you focused and on track but they also allow you to progress in a structured way.
In this episode I discuss some of the elements that go into a good practice routine and announce the publication of 20 Practice Routines for Classical Guitar
amazing advice and tips on practising on art of guitar playing
Are these practice routines free to members please?
Regards
Hi David,
All the routines are part of our membership, available in downloadable PDF form.

This was very helpful to me as I started practice routine #1 today. It was harder than I expected and in spite of my having practiced diligently and carefully up to this point, I found several places that really need work.
Has my membership expired? If not when is my renewal;?
I am looking forward to learning about the Bach Cello Suites from Dr. Jacques Lee Woods during Summer School. Today I started seriously working on the Allemande, Suite #1 in hopes of having a coaching opportunity with him in June. I assume that several of the participants are working on the Prelude and this will give a little variety.
always good to listen to your podcasts – never a dull moment- great advise as always
Hi Simon,
This sounds like a fun and creative challenge. I don’t however know which routine book to buy. I am assuming book 3. What are your thoughts. At out lessons last year I played the David Russel Loch Lomand and Preludio de Adios. What are your thoughts.
Harvey
Hi Harvey! Hope you’re doing well. Yes, I think book 3 (Routines XI-XVI) would be a pretty good fit, though it will have some challenges (which is good!). What sort of technical exercises are you using currently?
Peace,
Dave B (CGC team)
Excellent presentation. Reviewed this today and will consider including the 20 practice routines for students in the 2020-2021 academic year. Thank you.
