- Practice your 6th string (Low E) barre chords, both major and minor, on your electric guitar for now (diagram below).
- Remember that especially with the major variant, your pointer (finger #1) only really needs to hold down a few spots, namely the low E, and the high B and E strings in that case.
- Practice the reading exercise for your high E string. Practice to a metronome at 60 BPM in two measure chunks at a time, building up as you go.
- Practice these chunks using the Rule of Five. This means you'll need to be able to play any chunk five times in a row without making a mistake before you move on to another section or add anything on. So if you make a mistake at rep #4, you have to go back to zero and try to work your way up to five clean reps in a row. This helps ensure you definitely can play whatever you're working on consistently before you move on to something else.
- Here's a link to the strings I recommend you get for your acoustic to try out (I listed them on your dad's page as well):
