I can recommend this exercise to warm up and build pinky strength.

One finger per fret.  Hold first finger down.

l:l 5-8-6-8-7-8-6-8 l:l

l:l = Repeat.

Try to do this clean and on all strings.  Gradually increase speed but only when you can still play it cleanly and evenly.

This particular major scale form has helped immensely with finger stretching as well as economy picking.  Start on first fret (F Major).


l------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------l
l------------------------------------------------3--5--6--5--3--------------------------------------------------l
l------------------------------------2--3--5----------------------5--3--2--------------------------------------l
l------------------------2--3--5----------------------------------------------5--3--2--------------------------l
l------------1--3--5----------------------------------------------------------------------5--3--1--------------l
l-1--3--5---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------5--3--1--l

Start out first using alternate picking then attempt the picking pattern Down, Up, Down, Down, Up, Down, Down, Up, ect.

nah.  Most of the time, after I get exercises, warm ups and shit out of the way I'll just mess around.  Best way to learn a scale for improv.

Ultimately you must let your ear be the final judge.

Well that depends a lot on what you're into.  I would recommend though setting goals that aren't too far out of your reach so that you can actually reach them.  Early on when you try playing something difficult right away it seems impossible and you may get frustrated and stop playing.  Learn things that are challenging but that you are capable at being able to play at first.  Then you can move up from there.

Also there's too elements of your playing that are more important than all the rest.

1: Timing

2:  Accuracy

The rest are all secondary.

I'm into everything that sounds good. I'm no music snob claiming that some genres are inferior to any other. With the exception of punk. I have no interest in learning "punk" music.

I feel that timing and accuracy are key to making music sound right after you've already learned the material but it doesn't really help your muscle memory when it comes to getting a riff down. I mean I get that you can play some tablature and it sounds completely different unless you've got the rhythm down but I've noticed over the years that when a guitarist plays something not for an audience but for himself it's usually at a much faster speed because they're just playing it for themselves and more focused on just getting through it than getting the timing perfect.

any particular songs that you especially enjoyed playing when you were learning? I've been at it for about 3 months now and I've mainly just been learning blues scales and Zelda music plus a few of my favorite tunes from famous artists. I've barely studied any music theory for guitar but have a cursory understanding of it after years of piano lessons and I've only learned like 5 chords because so far it's been much more enjoyable to actually move around and play with the fretboard.




Well I think muscle memory is inclusive in accuracy.  The reason I stress those two is because one can develop bad habits that become hard to break later on.  If you play everything accurately, and in proper timing then everything else will fall into place.

As far as songs well for me I like to learn songs that are interesting on their own, since I'm not much of a singer and don't have the opportunity too often to play with others.  But it's all up to you man.
