hi everybody....

i was just curious as to what kinds of "practice schedules" you guys all have out there....i know it's probably pretty broad but i just wanted to see what other players are doing in terms of "getting better."

thanks

When I first started, I made myself practice a min. of 1 hour a day. But it always turned into 2 or 3. But I always made sure I set aside at least an hour.

I dont really have a set schedule, like 5-6 Guitar
But I normally play everyday for an hour, sometimes less, sometimes a lot more

ahh yes, i usually play for MAYBE a couple of hours during the week...but i make up for it on the weekends usually playing 4-5 hours a day...nothing like playing on the beach...except for the retarded sunburn i got with the guitar strap going down my back...i'll never do that again

practicing shouldn't be a chore. just pick up your guitar whenever your bored. if you always have a new song to learn, you'll find yourself practicing a lot more.

yeah, most of my practice now comes from playing songs I want to learn...or jamming on ones my friends are learning...I need more structure I think. I practice scales maybe once every two weeks, but that's about it...

learn some basics(if youre just starting) and play with other people...that most definately helps the most

when i first started playing... maybe an hour a day. Now i play a couple hours a day during the week, more on the weekends. My guitar is by my side almost anytime i am home.

good luck

As long as I practice every day, the amount of time does not matter.

Whenever I am able to, I grab a guitar. If I am watcihng a movie or a show, I normaly have a guitar. If someone watches with me, I just bring my les paul unplugged. When I am at work, I tink aobut playing or music 1/3 of the time. Hell, my les paul is in my lap right now. I was just playing it about 50 seconds ago. Music is my life. If I could, I would go to work with one strapped on me all day. One weekend to a family reunion (well, I was (like I am always done in a big crowd) pushed to the side, and left out of the picture. I was on my own the whole time, wondered around, mainly and I didn't have my guitar, I was really bored and pretty down.)

I play as much as I can, which can be hours.

I'm pretty much the same as Ranting Thespian there. I think it can be considered an addiction... But a good one. I'll just play any chance I get... During commercials... Hours of jamming everyday and an occasional new song. But I don't really make a schedual... Sometimes I'll make a point to learn a song or a solo by the weekend so I can jam with some people or something, but that's about it.

Practice?
