I completely agree. As it is now with music (and to a greater extent guitar) the sheer amount of material around from professionals and their practice regimens is astounding. In terms of technical virtuosity I have all the materials at my fingertips as long as I have internet access. Theory and application are just as easy to learn with diligent study.
If any of you all are interested in seeing how I do, I'm going to start in about a week or two and attempt to run a full year. I'll be updating my blogspot blog periodically.
