I've created this blog for one simple reason; as far as I know what I plan to do is unprecedented, and people should know at some point or another whether I had a good idea or a bad one. Here is the idea, in some detail:
Step 1 - Achieve polyphasic sleep as detailed by the Uberman method (20-30 minute naps every 4 hours).
Step 2 - Begin a regimen of periodic guitar training, leading up to and exceeding 12 hours of practice a day. Test a possible 20 hour practice schedule combining elements of effective practice with personal technique training gleaned from professionals.
Step 3 - Attempt to somewhat test Malcom Gladwell's 10,000 hours theory by accumulating 7,000+ hours of practice in the next year. I have practiced somewhere around 2-3,000 hours in the last three years.
This may seem like a heavy project, but I am fairly confident in my success. I already did a test run of the polyphasic sleep system and I was able to keep a relatively steady schedule for three weeks. At the moment I consider my greatest hurdles to be avoiding tendonitis, keeping schedules with my band members and partitioning time effectively. We will see in the near future whether my predictions are accurate.
