Re: Average hours you play guitar every week

4-5 hour with the band and maybe 2 -5 hours at home... it really change from week to week but i try to play everyday 1/2 hour at least. i used to play 20-30 hours a week but i lack the passion a little to do so these day.

Re: Average hours you play guitar every week

one thing I've noticed, is that when I am in a band, my playing is a lot sharper and far more accurate. It's amazing the difference I notice.

I have a really good thing going with my current band, I cross my fingers every day that we progress and continue to have fun.

Re: Average hours you play guitar every week

Whenever I'm at home watching TV, I always grab my guitar and either run scales, or work on palm muting techniques (trips, quads, ect.), and on weekends when neighbors are more laid back, I'll jam on the amps for 2 hours or so. So, in total >20 hours. But, as of late, I've kinda hit a bad case of writer's block. It's hard to find talented musicians to jam with out here. It seems like everyone's all nu-metal or screamo out here. I really wish there was a way to find decent musicians looking to form bands other than going to shows and Craigslist...

Re: Average hours you play guitar every week

No where near enough. When I first started, I was really dilligent and got in AT LEAST an hour of real practice a day, not noodling, real dedicated practice. Its tougher now being a dad and running a business but the truth is that the only thing holding me back is time management because I could easily find the time if I took a few minutes to think about it... as it is, I get maybe 30min a day of noddling/jamming over backing tracks...

Re: Average hours you play guitar every week

Depends on the week, sometimes only 2-3. Other times it might be closer to 10-15+.
Basically the amount of time I spend on guitar is inversely proportional to how much I'm enjoying my life at the moment.

Re: Average hours you play guitar every week

Awesome. Some true enthusiasts here...and I understand some of us have not had the time to put in more hours...

Now to learn that people like Steve Vai used to play something like 10hrs/day, that is something!

Re: Average hours you play guitar every week

I used to do at least 40 a week when I had my home studio set up.

That was two moves ago. Now I don't play at all.

I suck.
