I'm in the very fortunate position at the moment to be able to practice all day every day. It won't last forever, but if I wanted to put in 12-hour day, every day practices I could.
The problem is, structuring it so that it's useful. I won't have this luxury forever, so I'm looking for advice on what to practice to get the most out of this time.
Currently, I've focused a lot on jazz, but I don't want to neglect other areas either. I've found that Kim Plainfield's Advanced Concepts offers exercises which are at once technically difficult and musically diverse.
If you wanted to be the absolute best you could be, and had the luxury of infinite practice time, what would you "shed" to get the absolute most out of it?
For instance, would you just pick on killer lick and shed it to perfection, or work on co-ordination exercises so that all such licks would be easier? These, and similar questions mean that I'm currently not getting the most out of this time.
Thoughts?
Thanks
