:blink: Just wondering how many hours a day you play guitar. How much time spent learning new songs, scales, riffs etc. vs just playing stuff you already know. My wife say I play too much now that I joined this site.

Karl,
Great question. I practice almost every evening from about 10:00PM to Midnight. That is why I am on the site now. Checking things out before I start and thought I would let you know what I do. Well---------it's time to hit "Classical Gas for another two hours. I hope to post it the next week some time.

It may appear to some that I spend every wakening hour on this site , but thats not quite true. I have been off work lately and nothing else to do but spend my time here. Normal useage would be significantly less. Time on Guitar varies depending on what I'm learning. Minimum an hour a day.

Good question Karl! I play a minimum of 1 hour per day to a max of 3 hours (depending on if there is anything good on the idiot box!) Weekends I try to get 2-3 hours per day.
I have a little ritual where I start with 25% of my practice session on scales and leads. Then I spend 50% on TARGET songs I'm working on (usually about 6), then the last 25% is on new stuff that usually isn't related to TARGET or may be songs over my head like Windy and Warm, Classical Gas or Romanza.
If I have extra time, I play my old favorites just to keep up on them but with TARGET I have so many new favorites I've been neglecting my old stuff, especially those old Am ballads that put people to sleep!
And don't piss off the wife! Someday you may want a new guitar!! LOL!
Cheers!!

I play about 1/2 hour a day. I should play more but after some of the days I have, I just need to kick back and chill. Slowly, my guitar is getting me to that relaxation point though. Soon it will start to be very relaxing to play and then it will be difficult to get me to stop!
