thats weird...it came kinda natural to me once i started playing more difficult music...

heres a good routine to start with...
depending on time u have, i usually play for about 45 minutes - 2 hours a day (unless i have band pracice or a show that day)

10 minutes warming up
15-30 practicing scales
10 minutes playing songs u already learned
another 15 minutes on fingering drills and scales
15-20 minutes learning a piece or all of a new song
after that its up to you, u can bull shit around if u want
