This is my practice routine in a nutshell.
1. Do Gigs
This means ANY performance/playing. A gig, a session, a recording, a broadcast, a snippet posted on Snapchat/Instagram/Facebook/YouTube/etc., jamming with your mates, an audition, playing for yourself, playing for an imaginary friend, your cat, whatever. The point is that you’re putting it out there, making it into blood and guts.

2. Learn Pieces
Learning things to play. Tunes, solos, ideas, licks and so on.
If you want, you can add the word “many” in-between each phrase :)
