It is important to know how to practice jazz guitar so you don't waste your time or focus on the wrong things. Here are three topics that I think too many jazz guitarists spend practice time on and think that they need to know which they really don't. Most of this is related to a myth or misunderstanding and I think this is really worth talking a bit about because it doesn't help you and it really works against you.
This may also be the first video I ever made telling you to not practice something instead of giving you stuff to practice.
Of course I would love to hear what you think, because maybe it's different for you or maybe I am completely wrong?
