Guys, I have to say that I spend more time here than I do on the lessons. Don't get me wrong, I practice every night with limited time. I've got a decent routine as a big'ner but feel I'm here way to much. This time could be spent on more scales or something. As I set here and type this, I could be jamming but just love to see whats going on!

How is your time spent here? If I'm at work, then cool, I'll post away. But practicing for an hour when it could be an hour and a half. Well, I guess I feel a little guilty.

I have tried to make it a habit to turn off the computer screen and just turn myself a different way(unless of course I am learning from the internet, GMC for instance) when I'm playing biggrin.gif

I usually keep them as two seperate things. I browse the boards mostly when i'm at work (mostly becase when i'm at work i wish i was practicing instead!), when i'm at home i usually just practice without the distraction of the internet. I've got my beginners practice schedule locked down, although to be honest it feels more like purgatory sometimes - there's so much stuff i want to do that i'm not ready for yet *patience*.

As long as being on the forums doesn't actively prevent you for practicing i wouldn't say it's dangerous to spend a fair bit of time on here.

I do alot of both. Since I have a job and kids, my most harcore practicing comes between 10pm an 2am. I can say that the forum part keeps me motivated much more than if the site was exclusively the lessons. Hearing everyone's stories and reading up on gear, artists, haircuts and sore body parts just keeps me interested. It's the combo that makes this place what it is.

the best way that i have found when learning certain lessons (such as sweep picking) is to do the lesson properly but when doing the excersises when browsing the forum, only stop with your right hand so your still practicing with one hand and typing with the other, it actually makes it so you HAVE to be relaxed when doing both or neither work.
