I spend 2-3 hrs. a day practicing the guitar. A whole lot of that time is spent surfing between licks. I unplugged the Cat 5 cable from my computer this morning for 1 hr. and really sat down to practice. I feel like I really accomplished something. cool.gif

Do you have anything you'd like to confess to GMC?

I can easily sit down to work on theory and hear something on the radio and spend the rest of my session jamming along to the classic rock station laugh.gif

Nothing to confess as I practice the way I like to. Nothing to prove to anybody nor to myself. If I spend my practice time surfing on the web for new songs or lessons then it's not a lost of time and as far as I enjoy it I don't really see the problem in it. smile.gif

PS: but I wouldn't tell my friends I practice guitar 2 hours a day in that case wink.gif

Hmmm, we don't have to pay for any absolvation here I hope??? laugh.gif

1) I can't remember any text or name, not even on my own songs, or people I met one day ago.
2) I'm too lazy to clean my house, I rather pay someone else to do it while I'm playing guitar.....
3) I'm cheating while playing over chord changes, since I always seems to play some dimished stuff, no matter what chord it is....
4) I use to tell my business associates that I'm really busy - but I'm not, only with writing songs and play.
5) I like only blondes with long hair.
6) I once sleeped in a mega-bass speaker on a discoteque in Denmark before a guard large as a house carried me out.
7) I LIE far too much. Therefore one of these statements is false. Can anyone guess which ???

a ) I often sit in my office and play guitar when people think I'm busy working.
B ) Sometimes when I play I wish for someone to send me an instant message so I can have an excuse to put my guitar down.
c ) Sometimes when I play I get annoyed when people send me instant messages because I have to put my guitar down.
d ) When I start getting frustrated, I restring a Floyd with heavier gauge strings than it had before so I can pretend that I'm doing something very important that will change my playing as soon as I'm done.
e ) I sometimes believe I am better than I am.
f ) I often believe I'm worse than I am.
g ) In order to stay interested in guitar, when my playing isn't improving, I buy another guitar. I own a lot of guitars. sad.gif
h ) I sometimes use a new guitar as an excuse for my playing.
i ) When it comes to truss rods and bridges, I can never leave well enough alone.
j ) I have actually taken a set of files to my nut. wink.gif

Cheers!

... man, we are getting old Monte !!! ... LOL
For years i used to sleep an average of 4, max 5 hours per night ... enough extra time to practice a few hours in the morning or at night and still be able to manage a busy working schedule.

Lately i feel tired all the time and way to often i decide to take nap instead to just grab the guitar and practice ... well aware, energy would be back if i would do so.

GMC needs a "Wake up service" feature .. biggrin.gif

I don't practice as much as I should!
I play a lot, but not practicing, just playing for the love of it smile.gif

I suck at writing lyrics (serious ones)...

My soloing is really low/mediocre, but I'll live biggrin.gif

I spend too much time tweaking sound and fiddling around with my equipment instead of actually playing (but I like it)..

I enjoy Bon Jovi, Journey, Roxette and Lionel Richie (Feels good to get that out in the open...) laugh.gif
