    Make sure to practise every day, get into a habit of it. If you're learning lead, then just stick on a track that you know the key of, and solo along with it, or else just record your self playing a rhythm track on tape/cd/computer and solo along to that. I found the 12 bar blues very helpful in improving my lead play

    Thats a pretty good schedule Al. Wratchild, scope out Al's approach. Myself and a lot of people on this board can supply you with excercises and links for any of the component parts for such a master plan. Righteous.
