Well, mainly because when I play now, I'm working on something. I can't listen to something I haven't recorded yet. :lol: But yeah, recently when I play, it's just me messing around with things and seeing what I come up with.

I used to, I guess, when I was starting out.

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": The food court is downstairs. The cookie stand is upstairs. It's not like we're talking quantum physics here.

Well, I do, but when I do, I just mess around with them. Basically, I'll just take a progression, then build from that. I could jam for 5-10 minutes on a simple C -> F progression.

Just take variations, and just add stuff. Sometimes I'll like what I'll come up with, and I'll keep it. Sometimes it's the chords or riff to a certain song (not mine).

Anyway, I can't really describe my playing time, because I'll just play what I want. Someetimes, I will play along with a song, but most of the time, it's just me messing around with stuff trying to come up with my own stuff.
