It goes without saying that dedicating focused time to practice is the best way to improve on your instrument. However, many of us don’t have the luxury of being able to commit 8 hours or even 1 hour a day to practice. Many of us are only able to allocate 30 or sometimes even just 10 to 15 minutes to our practice per day.

However, regardless of the number of minutes or hours that you’re able to practice each week, you can still improve at a consistent rate and reach your playing goals by practicing efficiently and effectively. But, putting together an effective practice plan can sometimes be difficult to accomplish on your own…

That’s why we’ve created a collection of FREE downloadable Practice Packets designed by a handful of our master ArtistWorks instructors to guide you through an effective practice session and put you on the path to musical growth.

And, we’ve just added four new packets from rock guitar legend Paul Gilbert, blues rock powerhouse Jared James Nichols, bluegrass fiddle master Darol Anger, and classical violin virtuoso Richard Amoroso.

We have Practice Packets available from the following artists teaching the following instruments and genres:

Electric Rock Guitar with Paul Gilbert
