How to Organize Your Practice Week with the Training Lists

Seven lists, seven days, one concrete plan. That's how you practice with structure in Guitar Trainer.

Knowing what to practice each day is one of the most common problems among guitarists. Not for lack of material — Guitar Trainer has over a thousand exercises — but for lack of structure. The training lists are designed exactly to solve that.

The Logic Behind the Lists

Guitar Trainer has seven training lists, one for each day of the week. The idea is simple: instead of improvising each session, you prepare your lists in advance and when it's time to practice you just open them and follow along.

Each list can contain exercises and audio tracks. You can clear and reload them with new content at any time, letting you adapt your routine week by week based on what you're working on.

How to Build Your Week

There's no single correct way to organize the lists. It depends on how many days you practice, how much time you have each day, and what stage of learning you're at.

One option is to assign one list per day and distribute exercises by type of work: technique on Mondays, scales on Wednesdays, musical application on Fridays. Another option is to work the same material several days in a row but with different audio tracks — you change the rhythmic context without changing the exercise, which speeds up internalization.

You can also use the lists by thematic blocks instead of by day: one list for Base Block exercises you're consolidating, another for new exercises you're learning, another for material you want to review.

The Value of Deciding in Advance

When you arrive at a practice session without a plan, time gets spent deciding what to play. With your lists ready, the session starts immediately. That difference — between improvising and following a plan — is what separates consistent progress from stagnation.

Where to Start

Open the Exercise Favorites section, pick the exercises you're working on this week, and distribute them across your lists. It doesn't have to be perfect: you can adjust the content at any time. The important thing is to have something concrete to follow tomorrow when you open Guitar Trainer.
