Re: Late beginner practice routine
You just play the song how it exists in sound, not tab. For example, I play in D standard, so if I want to play a song that goes D G, I play an E shape and an A shape. Music theory doesn't change based on how the guitar is tuned, the notes are still the notes, only the tab or fingerings change.

Re: Late beginner practice routine
I'd focus more on learning songs -- learning to play them from beginning to end, as if you were performing.
As you do that, you'll learn everything else. Or at least, everything else worth learning.
Guitars weren't invented so we could play scales.

Re: Late beginner practice routine
There are different "different" tunings
Eb Standard - just 1/2 step down
Or D Standard, just a whole step down.
You either play like you would except everything sounds lower, or you transpose by using moveable forms.
And then there are things like Drop D - just standard with a lowered six string. You make some easy modifications to chord form choices, and pay attention to the scale forms.
And then we have the guys who threw the book out....U2, Goo Goo Dolls, etc...And the open slide tuning Blues guys. And 7/8 string user-metal guys....

Re: Late beginner practice routine
And here is the thing....
On a guitar - it isn't theory that's the problem. As was said - theory is theory. It is APPLYING it across and vertically and diagonally to the guitar!
The intervals, the tuning, the repeated notes etc make guitar a very odd beast indeed!
The theory is all pretty simple - + 1/2 step here, - a half step there a b or # 3rd, 4th, 5th, or whatever.
Now - picking a string and finger to that....there is the challenge!

Re: Late beginner practice routine
I went from 1st time picking up a guitar to a solid intermediate/advanced player with this method.
There is an online forum and the guy who authored the course does a live stream once a week.
Students and the author have a "convention" once a year in Nashville.
Great stuff!
