How much to practice at once

[Chili]

Hey all, i've been werking on my right hand tech straight for a month now, and everything else i've just been doodling around with and not really improving it exept my finger style, but i want to get into a routine of practicing 2 or 3 differant techniques a week, like practice finger style an hour or so monday, slap pop tuesday, then finger style wednesday, slap pop thursday, finger style friday kinda routine, or finger style for a week, then something else for a week, what kind of approach would work best?.....ill aprisiate any input

You will make more progress doing everything a little bit everyday. Give each one 15 minutes a day. Also focus more on playing music that uses the style than just doing tech exercises. Let playing music tell you what you need to isolate and work on. Many times just taking a part of a song your having trouble with and using it as a tech exercise works best. Take that part, grab your metronome, slow it down and work on it.

yeah thats pretty much how i was practicing, but not too much with the metronome but just gettin it locked into the song when i play along, i just recently changed to focussing on a specific technique, but now ill go back, thx for your input
