How to spend practice time

I'm not the most organised person, so I would find it difficult to regiment my practice strictly into 1 hour for this 1 hour for that. Some days I will work strictly on rhythm and on another it will be licks or whatever.

Something I have found though is it's best to not rush but to really try to master whatever I'm working on. for example, when you learn a solo, don't half learn it. Play it over and over along with the recording. At first at a slow tempo and very gradually increase. Playing along with Django to ensure you are getting the phrasing correct. Literally the same thing hundreds of times.

Tommy Emmanuel says what I'm getting at in this video more eloquently than I could & I have found his advice to be true.
