on music and practice: what i've realised works for me:

 
  1. having a practice routine. this means doing the same thing every day (basically speaking, but maybe in different keys every day)
  2. recording jam sessions, practices and listening back to them critically analysing what sounds good and what doesn't work too well in order to figure what to practice next.
  3. lots of listening to good music, and watching good instructional/performance dvds (also youtube videos nowadays!)
  4. going for live performances and enjoying it and learning from it.
  5. watching videotaped performances of yourself in order to figure what can be done in order to improve musicality, stage presence, technique etc. (comparing your mental picture of how you play and how you actually play.)
  6. using a metronome, backing tracks and playing along with records.
