Any advice on dealing with the onslaught of guitar tuition available today? I’m embarrassed to admit I’m only just now digging into “The Joy of Practicing”, because I spent so long researching the subject!

Memorization is the key to having information immediate enough to use in provisation. But there is so much; cycles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7; dim cycles; keys; scales; melodies; chord progressions; etc. What can be done to reduce the pressure?
