additional notes:
* each member responsible to practice on their own to make sure they have the sufficient technique/timing to be able to play given material properly (with authority and feeling)
* no conversations, “practicing chops”, irrelevant noise or banter between songs and during practice sessions apart from before/after or possible breaks
* sessions to be intense, and 100% focused on the given day’s area of practice
* times alloted for each session are as following:
1 session:
(option a) = 3 hours straight with no breaks
(option b) = 2 hours playing, *break*, 2 hours playing
Session can be repeated again if applicable and possible.
–> always to be timed with clock/watch to make sure the session remains in focus =>> (NO FUCKING AROUND!) <–
FINAL NOTES:
– weekend sessions can be longer/shorter depending on outside factors e.g. live shows coming up or intentions and amounts of recording to be done
– band sessions can also be occasionally replaced with solo practice if more suitable to each member’s schedules but this is not to affect the regimen in anyway e.g. if there’s no band practice on Friday then that day’s area of practice will not be practiced until the following week
