hi everybody....

i was just curious as to what kinds of "practice schedules" you guys all have out there....i know it's probably pretty broad but i just wanted to see what other players are doing in terms of "getting better."

thanks

When I first started, I made myself practice a min. of 1 hour a day. But it always turned into 2 or 3. But I always made sure I set aside at least an hour.

I dont really have a set schedule, like 5-6 Guitar
But I normally play everyday for an hour, sometimes less, sometimes a lot more

ahh yes, i usually play for MAYBE a couple of hours during the week...but i make up for it on the weekends usually playing 4-5 hours a day...nothing like playing on the beach...except for the retarded sunburn i got with the guitar strap going down my back...i'll never do that again

practicing shouldn't be a chore. just pick up your guitar whenever your bored. if you always have a new song to learn, you'll find yourself practicing a lot more.

yeah, most of my practice now comes from playing songs I want to learn...or jamming on ones my friends are learning...I need more structure I think. I practice scales maybe once every two weeks, but that's about it...

No schedule. Many hours.

learn some basics(if youre just starting) and play with other people...that most definately helps the most

when i first started playing... maybe an hour a day. Now i play a couple hours a day during the week, more on the weekends. My guitar is by my side almost anytime i am home.

good luck

As long as I practice every day, the amount of time does not matter.

Whenever I am able to, I grab a guitar. If I am watcihng a movie or a show, I normaly have a guitar. If someone watches with me, I just bring my les paul unplugged. When I am at work, I tink aobut playing or music 1/3 of the time. Hell, my les paul is in my lap right now. I was just playing it about 50 seconds ago. Music is my life. If I could, I would go to work with one strapped on me all day. One weekend to a family reunion (well, I was (like I am always done in a big crowd) pushed to the side, and left out of the picture. I was on my own the whole time, wondered around, mainly and I didn't have my guitar, I was really bored and pretty down.)

I play as much as I can, which can be hours.

I'm pretty much the same as Ranting Thespian there. I think it can be considered an addiction... But a good one. I'll just play any chance I get... During commercials... Hours of jamming everyday and an occasional new song. But I don't really make a schedual... Sometimes I'll make a point to learn a song or a solo by the weekend so I can jam with some people or something, but that's about it.
