How often do you play?

Unread post by DreaminBassMunky » Fri Aug 22, 2003 2:58 pm

Basically I want to know how many hours per day does everyone play. I know school is starting but think about on average how much do you play. During the summer i play upwards of probably 4 or so hours a day, if I'm just sitting around and 2 or 3 if I actually have something to do during the day or at night. So how much do you play?

Pretty random here. Last thing I want to do is keep track of my quota for the day though....I guess that happens after parents force you to play EVERY SINGLE DAMN SPORT in this area....grrrr... :)

really depends...i only pick it up when i feel the urge. i don't force myself to play, but i usually wind up doing so for at least 2 hours up to 5 hours straight sometimes. just depends on the mood. :)

it varies. i play it a lot throughout the day, but i take a lot of breaks. i'd say it adds up to maybe three hours, give or take. also depends on what song i'm learning, if it's fun or not, and if i'm having a decent run at making my own stuff.
