You are right about the song incorporation into the practice routine.

I usually show some riffs that can help them master some techniques, being in a musical context helps them see mastering the riff more fun

The easiest way is to learn the circle of fifths, take a piece of paper and write it 4 times a day and soon you will start to know this effortlessly, by the number of flats and sharps it has :)

We all have been through building finger strenght.

My guitar teacher even told me that the first 6 months are hardest due to the finger strenght aspect :)

So don't worry if you practice daily you will make it :).

Just have fun and enjoy the process
