I know there are others probably asking similar questions, but here I go. Can anyone suggest a practice schedule for an alotted time of about one hour a day. I know basic things to do such as work on scales arpeggios, chord forms, tunes etc. What I am really looking for is what type of breakdown to do each day. In otherwords, I know I will not be able to get through all the scales and arpeggios at each setting. so should I break it down to working specifically on a given key such as Monday work on everything in the key of C, Tuesday the key of F, etc etc. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks. Tom

Totally depends on where you are and what your goals are. Where would you like to be with your guitar playing?

For some people, practicing scales and arpeggios would be a total waste of time, and for others it might be essential.

maybe give us more info about yourself?

I'm still interested in what your goals are and where you are now. Remember that it's important to get some real playing in there in addition to fretboard memorization stuff!
