Every guitarist has a practice routine. Some are structured. Others are disciplined. Most involve scales, timing exercises and measurable progress.

And then there’s this one.

A highly sophisticated system involving:

  • tuning;
  • one riff;
  • distraction;
  • snacks;
  • questioning whether actual practice is really necessary;
  • watching guitar tutorials instead.

Eventually, all roads lead back to the beginning which technically makes it a routine. Just not a very productive one.
