i've done a month before, but only about a day in normal situations.

and the only problem is that after the month it kinda hurts again to play but after that first day i'm right back at it.

I went a day without guitar, and I was so much in withdrawl. I was thinking, why didn't i bring my guitar during my family reunion. I was alone most of the time, stay secluded, just didn't fit, and when people would drink in the hotel, I went to my room, nothing was on tv, and I was wanting my guitar. I played it the morning before we left, and on sunday night when we got home.

I couldn't generally go over 4 days without playing, unless I was on vacation without a guitar for a while.

I went a week or so without playing the guitar. But I was out of town for a DMB concert, and I was with my girlfriend, but I didn't have my guitar on top of that though. But after I came back to it, it was as though I never stopped playing it. But if I'm not out of town, I'm at least playing it everyday for an hour or so.

4+ days.

i can't go any longer than that. if i go camping i def. bring a guitar and if i'm out of town and can't bring it then i have to visit a guitar shop to play for atleast 20-30mins. most guitar employees understand, and if they don't i get just pretend i'm gonna buy a guitar and they usually let you have your way with it. they get really mad when you tell them the truth though :lol:

after not being able to play for almost a week i don't allow myself to go more than four days anymore.
