hmm....for practising....juz pickup my guitar....run scales lo....most basic....then slurs...after that tremolo....then use my finger to run on the strings....to improve speed.....after that start playing different pieces lo....

me personally a classical player....but will be branching out to take up fingerstyle on acoustic...guitar is da best musical instrument...

classical guitar owns so does fingerstyle acoustic. Speaking of which, i wonder how Roger Wang is making it in the local scene. Oops...off topic.

Roger Wang i think he's da best fingerstyle acoustic guitarist in Malaysia....haha....got 4 albums liao i think...

On an ideal practice session:

1st 1/2 hr: Stretching exercises. "Pumping Nylon" by Scott Tenant has got tonnes of really challenging exercises to practice stretching with.

2nd 1/2 hr: Scales at abt 120bpm, maj., min. & chromatic scales mostly.

Next 1hr or so: Depends. Chords & rhythm/accompaniments to music I wanna learn (if it's rock pieces). Otherwise, I can spend up to 2hrs or so on a single classical piece.

And anyone wishing to pick up fingerstyle, I'd recommend taking a crash course in classical guitars and play the studies of Fernando Sor. Matteo Carcassi also has several studies really useful for right-hand finger dexterity.

My routine:
30 minutes of acoustic practice (rhythm and plucking) - I like the challenge of catching the chords by ear and all

30 minutes of electric practice (fill in and lead) - I'm still new to the electric, so i just play around with the chords, do some leads and fill ins.
