Title: How long do you practice per day?


Cybergeron89 - April 18, 2008 07:06 PM (GMT)
for me, ( I dont play everday thou) i practice usually around 20-30min. So how long do u all practice once you start playing?

s0l1dsn8k3 - April 18, 2008 08:17 PM (GMT)
depending on what song or a set of songs I'm learning. it can be as little as 30min. many times it's more than that. I just watch TV and practice at the same time. The longest I've practiced for was like 6 hrs ... though I probably practiced even longer when I was playing the viola in school.

an hour or less...untill i learn the song..then i move on to another song wEEee

depends on how busy i am that day but normally everyday 1-2 hours, i feel something is missing if i dont play my guitar everyday

cherii - April 19, 2008 12:37 AM (GMT)
I always pick up the guitar when I'm bored, sometimes I watch tv as well. I stop playing when my fingers are about to die. XD Probably about 2 or so times a day I pick it up. I lose track of time when I play, so I don't know. Probably 30 mins to around a few hours. I don't think I can play as long as 6 hours though!

xela - April 19, 2008 01:09 AM (GMT)
well me too.if i'm not busy i will practice one song while listening....about half an hour....or less...

XxcronoxX - April 19, 2008 01:19 AM (GMT)
everyday..^^ .in the afternoon i start to play all the chords i remember..30 min..by the night 1 hour, maybe 2..depends of the song i'm learning..

TTHX - April 19, 2008 04:58 AM (GMT)
Yeah depends, but usually an hour a day.

I've been playing a lot more lately though getting ready for a show, and getting two new guitars helps with that haha.

I got a new acoustic today and played that for like 6 hours @@

cLam - April 19, 2008 05:54 AM (GMT)
Also depends how busy I am (or how much I decide to procrastinate with all the homework and stuff. lol) But I usually try to aim to at least pick up the guitar everyday, even if it's only for 20-30mins.

Though, admittedly, I haven't been playing for the past week, and possibly more -- been trying hard to concentrate on exams. :(

asuna - April 19, 2008 06:09 AM (GMT)
if i'm just playing to relax or to kill time, probably 15-20mins on my accoustic, just go thru a few songs that i know

if i'm learning a new song (like YUI's for eg.) probably 30-45mins

if there's a performance coming up, or i'm going jamming with my bandmates then i can practice for up to an hour or two

Kuroshikan - April 19, 2008 06:25 AM (GMT)
Usually, I gotta restrain myself from being near a guitar since I have so much homework to do. But when I do pick up my guitar, I would jam on it for at least 30min or so and ended up wasting sometime... It's totally worth it though. Don't force yourself to practice. I play because there's music in my head that really needs to be let out.

cherii - April 19, 2008 08:10 AM (GMT)
You know though, during my exam week...I didn't pick up my guitar once. >_< It was the first I'd ever done that, because I wanted to do well. Maybe I would've done better if I did play my guitar. Haha.

yvonneleung - April 19, 2008 08:52 AM (GMT)
^ LOL cherii. i still play my guitar when i know there's a math test the next day :/ not too good!!

it really depends. 90% of the time i play guitar everyday. i can never keep count cause i play guitar for 30mins and i stop and do some stuff on the computer and then i pick it up again and play for a certain of time. idk, changes!

natsumi - April 19, 2008 09:15 AM (GMT)
@TTHX

nataliejwong - April 19, 2008 10:20 PM (GMT)
I'm the same with everyone. About 30mins to an hour per day.

Samart - April 20, 2008 08:12 AM (GMT)
Whouaw... Most of you are practicing every day. It is said that even 15 minutes, it's better to do so than practicing 4 hours or more, but once a week. I'm not at home during 2 days a week because of work. I should buy another guitar...

yoshiro - April 20, 2008 12:02 PM (GMT)
i play the guitar when ever im bored or when i have free time....
i think im gradually getting better now!!

by8n7 - April 20, 2008 02:45 PM (GMT)

:sry Haha yeah, I thought it was about time to get an acoustic, I was actually going to buy an acoustic, when I couldn't find one I liked, so I got the tele.

Here's a pic, it's just a cheap one, $130, but I challenge you to find anything better than this for that price. =P

LOL well, that's not fair hahahaha

I dig the original dreadnought shape more than ones with cutaways, and I normally don't need to reach such high frets for just acoustic songs.

cherii - April 22, 2008 09:10 AM (GMT)
What?!!?!?! $10 Canadian? My Yamaha was $200 Australian, and it was $100 off because it was on special. =P I bought it at a good time.

Mine doesn't have any cutaways either, but it doesn't matter too much since I don't usually need to go that high anyway.

harry - April 24, 2008 01:33 PM (GMT)
well..it depend. sometimes i would played all day long if there's song that i like. but i do play guitar every day i can. :sry

arnoldonicolas - April 29, 2008 11:31 PM (GMT)
Very similar to everyone. I practice about 30 min to an hour everyday, but sometimes i play 3 or 4 hours. I used to practice several hours, but now i can't... anymore.

:cry

speedphantom - April 30, 2008 07:23 AM (GMT)
I just jam and play random pentatonic scale junk usually haha XD don't really play anything in particular.

I sometimes work on guitar parts for the songs I'm writing.

yuichiyo - April 30, 2008 08:52 AM (GMT)
depends in my mood and the song..but usually...30 mins every song then another song...

>ch|yo< - May 1, 2008 02:05 PM (GMT)
me...less than an hour...
i'll play the songs that i need to show my guitar teacher first..
then play around with the songs i'm familiar with...

the_alchemist - May 4, 2008 09:08 AM (GMT)
usually about 1 hour.. if i got nothing to do i can play for couple of hours until my fingers hurt and tell me to stop..
but i still can't play very well and need to practice more... XD
