yes i know the topic title is missleading ....i wanted to know if a person benefits more by practicing alone or with more people

Its good to do both.

Both i like practicing with alot of different people so i can get a good variety of tips, pointers, sounds, styles, heck, sometimes i go up to guitar center or Sam ash just to watch people play or get some pointers

Well I think it is more beneficial to mainly practice by yourself however practicing with other people every once in a while could definitely help. I usually only practice by myself but my friend who has been playing for 5 years now is like a regular at the local guitar shop and everyone their knows him cuz he just goes there a lot to play so sometimes I head down there with him just to hang out and play with some people (even tho I usually get embarrassed )

i do both i practice by myself to learn new things, and chops, but when you playing with people you have to have that stuff already so you can focous on combining all the instruments

I agree

You really need to do both to get the best results.You can be awesome playing by yourself and then try to jam with someone and just sit there like duhhhhhhhhh.It takes work to play with someone because it's not just your playing that has to be in time.If your just a second off you just ruined the whole thing .There's really no one around me to jam with.I used to have dudes back in the day and i loved it.The only people around me now are not very good and cant play the things i like.I dont enjoy just sitting around playing Nirvana and smoke on the water

i mainly practice by myself.
but playing with others is very important if you want to advance further.

also.

playing with others is fun

I never Jam with another guitarist unless its a close friend or my Lead.. playing with a bass or drummer is best because then u can do something.. (play songs) and they can;t be overly critical and not know what they are talking about.

I practice with a live instructor once a week. Spend the rest practicing on my own. I learn better by myself but you cannot beat playing with someone to get an over sense of "musicality"!

hey, yall think its better with another guitarist or with the other instruments?
