ie:
High school: 3 hours (note your answer should reflect on not how much you want to practice, but how much time permits for it)
I play nearly everyday for at least an hour. There's always time for Jello, right?

After work, at home, in my favorite chair, oh how sweet.

2-3 Hours depending on what I plan on practicing.

On average about an hour of that is spent on scale and arpeggio execution. Sweep picking is a beautiful thing indeed.

I'm in High School.

ok in college when I picked up the guitar like my junior year i would play for about 2+ hours a day (many late nights studying to make up for it, but it was definitely worth it). I found that I need to play at least a little everyday just to relax and free my mind from school shit. I think it helped me focus more on school so that i would have more time to play guitar later (If that makes sense). Now that I'm in Grad school i'm lucky if i get 20 minutes a day to play. That's why I live for Friday and Saturday b/c I pretty much play all day to make up for it. Drives my g/f crazy sometimes but she understands that my guitar is my other woman.

College, 2-3 hours a day. I work full time as well, so it's tough. I usually just jam late at night, and get very, very little sleep.
Stay with me, safe and ignorant.

A social life that takes up perhaps 15 hours of the day? Man, you must be exhausted. You should take a break from being Mr. Cool every once in a while and spend more time putting yourself above others on the internet.
