I play a guitar almost every day, even if it's just too noodle for a few minutes but I can tell when I really haven't put in the time. I think my practicing is really to help connect my hands and my ears. Running though some scales and riffing around the neck helps me hear new things which in turn helps me write new things. I usually have less of a technical agenda when I practice. How intense are you guys about practicing? Do you have a practice regiment you stick to?

Some days I'll spend several hours playing but sometimes I go a couple days without playing at all. I really need to tighten up but I have so many other things competing for attention that's it's impossible for me to put the time in that I should be.

I usually practice between 1 and 3 hours a day. It's more on Friday evening as I'm prepping Saturday's Lesson Plan and then late in to Saturday night prepping Sunday's lesson plan. The good news is that, IMHO, anyone can can become a fine player with enough sheer tenacity. Most players simply give up the instrument in the first year. I've always treasured my ability to play guitar and I'm glad to heave earned the ability to play. It's one of those things nobody can take away from ya, and you have to earn it. Practice!!!

I wish I could do more right now, but that is the routine I have worked myself into. I would call half of that time "intense" and the other half just playing. Weekends more of course - especially Saturday which is my guitar day. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

That being said, when I sit down and play my guitar, I genuinely can't put it down. I'm thinking about developeing a sorta.. Yearly plan, then split that into a monthly goal plan, so I can work on stuff that I want to and know what I'm practicing that day. I think I would dedicate about an hour, hour and a half a day to practicing. It all depends really, if I'm on fire that day, I'll sit for HOURS and play different stuff. If I haven't eaten, my fingers are cold, my gf is pissed at me, I will play like crap and I'll get annoyed and put my guitar down and play some more games haha. I think all these contribute as factors tbh. But as a procrastinator, I think a regime certainly helps! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You can do big spurts here and there, but its the focused consistent time which makes the difference. I'm about to setup a new course for the next couple of weeks for me to work on. Very excited.
