Get a teacher who also is well versed in music theory. 3. Use the metronome. That's the only way to build your speed correctly. Assuming you want to be more of a lead player than a rhythm player.

hey appreciated, i'm fully committed to learning what i need to learn to play what i want to play, so again, thanks. i'm also very motivated and have stuck it consistently for 2+ years now, from the beginning i've been practicing with metronome backed scales. my concern is getting bogged down in theory and losing any of the above momentum.
i'm also thoroughly into blues music, so no shredding planned here, as much as i appreciate it for both the entertainment and difficulty.
but if i'm committing some obvious mental mistakes that would hamper progress at some point later, i'd like to head that off now, i know i've changed a lot of things around over the last 2 years getting shit right(er) and now is the time. what are some of the mistakes you've noticed that i need to be aware of?
