The conclusion? I am rarely listening to music when I am working on non musical things, otherwise I will end up like 'my GOD...the melodies...the GROOVE' How does this work for you? Can you listen to music and work in the same time and of course, be productive? Cosmin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I can listen to one album for a few hours because I have 'missed' a few songs. Actually being able to listen to music all day is one of the plus points of my job LOL! which probably doesn't say much for my career aspirations!

A lot of the time I'm more focused on detail than on the tune as a whole or non musical issues and so don't really pay that much attention to the song as a whole. It's often only once the project has finished that I come to any idea of whether or not I like the music. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I have coworkers who like to hear new stuff so I can play whatever I want to. It doesn't detract from my work. I feel like I work better and have a better attitude when rockin out at work. No complaints from the boss either. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I work with too many noisy machines and air compressors to really hear it most of the time. I usually get my music fix before and after work.

The best time to do it Oh and there's also walking on the street of course! I NEVER go without music! While practicing Ken Jutsu, I'm listening to traditional Japanese music to get me in the right state of mind. When I'll start pumping iron at home (I am getting my gym tools next week) I will most definitely put some Pantera on!
