University is pushing it to the edge with all the homework and stuff to be done, and i am also rearranging my room so it is more comfortable to work with the video recording. Yesterday i hit the store to get some decent light setup and all i saw was "Inventory" (i hope it's the right word in English) on the door - GRRRR. Today i got some halogen lights to make my videos even better and right now i have to hit the JAVA DEVELOPER to do the homework for tomorrow. I guess there will be no guitar at all for today You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I'm getting up at 5 and doing 2 hours before work, then 2-3 hours in the evening (amidst putting kids to bed, etc), and at the weekend, 10 hours on a Saturday, and 10 on a Sunday (5-10 am, then usually 1-6pm or 3-8pm). So weekdays, around 4 hours, and 10 at weekends. I've got to admit that it's not easy on top of a 40 hour week, but it is worth it, and it keeps me out of trouble... and the pub!!

I work full-time (and then some), so it isn't possible to maintain a serious practice schedule. I kinda remember a thread like this back when I first found this site, where one or two people were practicing for 8 hours+ each day. That'd drive me insane, even 3 hours in a single day of practice feels like too much for my taste. Takes it from a hobby and turns it into a job. Mind you, when I pick up a new song and try to learn it from scratch that seems to bump up my practice time a little too. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I guess if you average it out it's about 1½ hour every day. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
