Re: How do you practice?
I usually spend the first two hours doing scale runs with the metronome as well as simple chord progressions. I play the minor pentatonic scale in every key, starting with a down pick and then with an up, and starting from the high E as well as the low E. Chromatic runs are also thrown in there. Once my fingers are really warmed up, my practicing goes much better. But if I just jump into soloing along with SRV for instance, it doesn't go as well. I've really been studying a lot of his stuff lately and flow is a big key in his playing, he doesn't miss a single beat.
