– In Yousician, select the E–A–D exercise and practice following the metronome.
– In Fender Play, review the open chord module and repeat each transition at least five times.

- Specific technique work (15 minutes)

– Alternating strumming: In Fender Play, choose a pop/rock lesson and practice up/down strumming.
– Pentatonic scales: In Yousician, play the scale in fifth position with rhythm, gradually increasing the speed.
Do you struggle with coordination? Slow down the metronome and focus on clarity, not speed. - Full song (15 minutes)
– Choose a song that includes the chords E, G, and A minor.
– Divide the song into sections (verse, chorus) and learn each part separately.
– Record with your phone's microphone and compare it to the original track: identify errors and correct them on the next pass. - Improvisation and creativity (10 minutes)
– Use the JustinGuitar or Fender Play backing track to improvise over the pentatonic scale.
– Try variations: change the pace, add hammer-ons or pull-offs.
– Jot down ideas: Does that riff sound good? Can you create a short 4-bar solo? - Closing and reflection (5 minutes)
– Review your recording: write down two achievements and one point for improvement.
– Write in your practice journal: “Today learning to play guitar was easier by correcting X.”
– Plan your next session: will you focus on chords, technique, or improvisation?
…This daily routine, combined with your favorite apps, ensures that learn to play guitar in a structured and fun way. Vary the order according to your energy, but always maintain a clear objective.

Precautions and care
– Avoid muscle overload: If you feel sharp pain (not the normal itch in your fingertips), stop and rest.
– Monitored postureCheck your alignment in the mirror every week. Adjust your seat height and wrist angle.
– Active breaksAfter 30 minutes of practice, take 5-minute breaks; walk around and stretch your shoulders.
– Rope hygiene: Wipe your strings with a dry cloth after each session to prolong their lifespan.
– Hearing healthIf you use an amplifier, keep the volume moderate. Protect your hearing and avoid acoustic fatigue.
– Emotional balanceDon't get frustrated after a setback; even pro guitarists have experienced frustration. …Remember: perseverance conquers resistance.
