I thought I would post a thread on practice to see how you all approach it. I feel at times that I should be more structured in how I practice. I tend to spend a lot of time just sort of banging around (playing barre chords..trying to jump all over the fret board etc..). Then I'll play a song or two and then I'll bang around more. Lately, in the "banging around" process, I've been doing that part to my metronome. But sometimes I feel that being so loose isn't helping me to improve much. So I'm interested in how other folks on the forum approach practice.
