Not long enough. 😅
If I sit down to practice it must be around 30 minutes. I never timed it but I often play for hours and my aproach to playing songs is the same as to practicing.
Yes! Practice like you play is what i always got taught in my day job. If you put your all into your practice you’ll get it all when you perform in my opinion

I try to at least get an hour in 4-5 times a week. Average is usually about an hour and a half. Some days it’s more, some days it’s a little less. Throw in a rest day or two and I’m usually feeling pretty good! Haha
Hell yeah man i wish i could do that but my job prevents me 🙄 screw having responsibilities! 😂😂

I feel that. I work for a record label and work a few days a week with a regular day job so some days it’s just not gonna happen haha but I try to keep the goal up as often as possible :p
Awesome man what do you for the label? I love my day job (pipefitter/pipe welder) but my main goal is to be in a well known band someday. Gotta put in the work first 💪

I feel you on the work. I never know where, or hownlong of days ill be working its always week to week. Honestly been getting in s lot of practice time lately and i love it!

My work schedule is consistent. It's just also like.. 11 hours of my day. 9 there and a hour getting to and from. Soi have maybe 5 hours to my day to myself if I want a decent sleep. And some nights after work it's just not a good idea to pick the guitar up. Then the leaf games lol cant miss those. I have a lot of passions. The weekends are my play days. The most I get in everyday is arpeggio runs in a different position or key then the day before. Then the improv video which is usually one take a piece. By then the hour is up and it's late or I gotta leave for work.

Just a quick question, how long do all ya’ll practice? For me it varies on how much time i have! If im having a real busy day i’ll get at least 30 minutes to an hour of exercises in so i make at least a little progress!
5 or 6 hours may be. I don't really count. but i always practise my both electric and classical guitar. may be it's more than 6 hours. because the only time i'm not practicing is when i'm eating and studying. ( I only study 2 hours 😅) .
