one lick a day for a year. All in different styles and themes
short and sweet each day, so easy to see progress each day. And you look back after a few weeks and what you thought was difficult to start out with you can now do easily
i found it immensely valuable in giving me something that was not massive that I could focus on, I saw immediate improvement and added guitar styles I would never have considreed
very very good book for this purpose
That's what I didn't tell myself 30 years ago
All the books in the world won't help you if you have a couple of technique problems that can be fixed in 5 mins by someone who can accurately observe your technique.
And I can almost guarantee you that you will, because almost everyone does.
Beyond that, it is a matter of practicing at a tempo that allows you to input the correct information before trying to accelerate the tempo.
It has to be clean- being fast by itself is next to useless otherwise.
Concentrate on playing cleanly and accurately- the speed will come with time.
If you prioritise accuracy over speed and speed will follow naturally.
You should play every day- at least 20 minutes- hard work will always trump talent.
You need to know what to practice though- this is where we come back to having a teacher.

Football is rubbish.
Don't always take 'How To' vids as de facto though - many mistakes and myths prevail.
I also use Transcribe! utility for slowing down and key changing for awkward tunings fiddly stuff.

I find the best way to see what you need to work on is record your own playing and try and be a bit self critical....not so much that it makes you hate guitar and never want to pick it up again though...lol
Sometimes I end up just farting around with my Zoom G3n and programming new patches in but, mostly, i try to focus on learning and memorising the songs.
These days I don't try to learn any techniques which I'm not good at and focus on the stuff which I can do ok,
