Day 26 was a productive practice day. I'm finding that short periods of focused practice time are generating very favorable results.

Here's my practice log for day 26:

• Warm-up Exercises (8 minutes)
• Review (10 minutes)
• Jazz Arpeggios
• Steve Morse Picking Exercise
• Arpeggios From Hell
• I Know You're Here
• Red Flag
• Paint the Town Red
• Songwriting (48 minutes)
• Exercises (Joe Charupakorn) pages 148 - 185 (1 hour 9 minutes)
• Original Composition (25 minutes)

After some careful consideration, I've decided that songwriting should be a part of my daily practice. All the new things I'm learning are inspiring new ideas and I think it would be best get these ideas out while I'm in the "zone".
