🎸 Welcome to the first video in my new series on practicing guitar more efficiently. Whether you're just getting started or refining your routine, you'll find tips here that are simple, effective, and probably missing from your current practice flow.

In this episode: • How to create a distraction-free practice space • Why your schedule matters more than you think • How to carve out time—even when it feels impossible • A few personal stories (including how I trained my wife not to interrupt practice!)

Plus… I’m downsizing after 30 years in the same house, and I’ve listed some killer gear on eBay—including a Trio+ pedal, strobe tuner, sit-stand desk, and even some vintage guitars from my early Metal Method days. 🛒 Check out the auction here: https://tinyurl.com/27n6mnpd
