HEY GUIZ I'M BACK!
Sorry about my absence, i'm going to be here a lot more now.
Since i'm nearly finished my final exams, i'll have about 3-4 months free time before i go to uni. I want to use that time to really get into guitar, like practice 4-5 hours a day. On top of that i want to try my hand at FL studios and do some techno stuff, maybe start a band myspace.
But anyway! Yes. I really need to have a practice routine going on. Like exercises to do each day.
What i have at the moment:
Scales: Just chromatic, major, minor, maybe pentatonics, and practice them to a metronome in 3/4, 4/4, 5/4 and some obscure metres.
Rip a riff a day: Pretty simple. Grab some Stevie Ray Vaughn and other artists (suggestions?) and rip some of their riffs so i can get better at using my ear.
Learn the freaking fretboard: FO SRS. It takes me like 3-5 seconds to realise what note i'm playing. I want to know the fretboard like *clicks* that.
But other then that, i don't really know what exercises i can do. Suggestions?

Good Luck with FL Studios. I find it more time consuming than Fable 2.
As for the hardcore rocking out with the guitar, good luck on that.

What I practice:
FIRST: Scales and that... You need to know the major scale in all different positions so that you can go all the away up the fretboard and stay in the same key, knowing the major scale lets you into all the other scales ('cause its just changing the major a little, know what I mean?)
SECOND: I then go up and down the G pentatonic scale as fast as I can! (I can do 140p/m in semiquavers)
THIRD: Whatever songs I'm working on, until i can get them completely right at least three times in a row (currently its exam songs)
FOURTH: Find a song that I don't know the tune of, and try and play it (i go on ultimate-guitar.com and click on Top 100) Usually I then end up recording how I interperated it smile (have you heard master of puppets in a classical style? razz )
FIFTH: A turn on the radio and try and figure the chords and main riff of whatever is on
SIXTH: Then its oral practice (learn2hear.org) and after that, onto clarinet... then homework.. argh
