Let’s be honest. Practicing can be a drag.

But as a community of Music Execs, we know it’s the key to our unbridled success. According to a 2009 Gallup Poll, 85% of U.S. adults who don’t play a musical instrument wish they had learned to play one. We’re the lucky ones, friends.

Dustin Fichter is the accomplished guitarist and educator walking us through an effective practice session this episode. We figured since he’s played with artists ranging from Jj Hairston to Charles Macphearson and is a regular writer on Jazz Guitar Today , he knows what he’s talking about. He broke it down for us like this:

5 min - Warmup

5 min - Technique

10 min - Learning Riffs

10 min - Improvising/ Jamming

The fearless guitarist shares these four easy strategies for continued success in your practice.
