Follow a structured beginner path instead of random practice. Choose a 2-week sprint or a full 4-week roadmap.

2-Week Sprint

Fast momentum plan

Best if you want immediate consistency in open chords and rhythm.

Week 1: Chord shapes and clean transitions

Practice C, G, Am, F transitions for timed 60-second rounds.
Use one down-strum pattern and keep a steady pulse.
Track clean-change count once per day.

Week 2: Strumming control and song-ready loops

Add two pop strumming patterns at 65-80 BPM.
Run a 4-chord loop (G -> D -> Em -> C) for 8 bars without stopping.
Finish each session with one full recorded take.

4-Week Path

Complete beginner foundation

Build chord changes, groove, and scale control with weekly progression.

Week 1: Foundation and hand setup

Daily 5-minute warm-up plus open-chord accuracy.
Learn one timing count method: 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &.

Week 2: Chord-change speed with control

Use One-Minute Changes for measurable rounds.
Raise tempo only if at least 80 percent of landings are clean.

Week 3: Strumming dynamics and groove

Practice accent placement on beats 2 and 4.
Alternate soft/medium strums while keeping tempo stable.

Week 4: Scale flow and application

Run pentatonic drills with clean alternate picking.
Create short phrases over simple progressions.

Weekly success rule

Keep one simple log: tempo used, clean change count, and one improvement note. Small weekly gains are more reliable than random high-speed sessions.

1. Measurable round

Run at least one 60-second scored set daily.

2. Tempo gate

Increase BPM only after stable clean execution.

3. Weekly review

Compare this week vs last week with one clear metric.
