I've just filmed an actual practice session of mine, to give you some insights of how do I practice guitar parts. Everything is real, no preparations, you'll see how do I get a lick from figuring out how to play it all the way to stage- or studio-ready condition. Hope you'll find it helpful!

0:00 Intro
0:42 Split it into bits and pieces...
0:56 What exactly is 'perfection' and do you need it?
1:15 Think of the whole song, not just about bits and pieces!
1:58 Still, let's take a single lick as an example...
2:20 Make your fretting and fingering decisions... Feel free to find whatever works for YOU!
5:00 Speed it up as fast and as quick as you can!
6:13 Find your initial tempo. Get out of your comfort zone right away!
7:20 Okay, let's start at 70bpm and use a metronome
8:10 Set metronome on 2 and 4!
9:30 Make a loop out of the lick
9:54 Play the lick repeatedly three times in a row with no mistakes at all!
10:30 ...or maybe play it 10 times, some mistakes are allowed
11:20 ...then speed it up by 10bpm!
12:49 ...speed it up, play 3 times in a row with no mistakes, repeat, reach the tempo you need
13:49 Now play it somewhat faster than you need, to gain even more confidence!
15:19 Finally, play it with the recording or backing track and you're done!
