Daily Practice Routine & Checklist

Every session (20-30 min)

1. Tune (2 min) - every time, no exceptions.
2. Warm up (3 min) - slow single notes on each string, relaxed hand.
3. Chord changes (8 min) - pick one tricky pair, slow and clean before fast.
4. Strumming/rhythm (5 min) - steady beat over a simple chord loop.
5. Song time (8 min) - play music you like, even if it is just one section.
6. Log it (1 min) - write what to fix tomorrow while you still remember.
