How many hours a day do you practice?

i'm like joshers i type all day and i just can't play that much like half hour a day. 7-10 hours a day how in the **** is there school, job, hum, just be careful though easy does it. :)

i reckon 3 hrs every weekday, and even more come the weekend... i just looovee playing

I usually happy if I get three and a half in on weekdays. During this winter break I've had a couple times that I've played six hours in one day.

hmmm.... 84 hours.

im going to stick with that.

i play my guitar about 10-14 hours, but thats mostly cuz i play for 2 church services,and 1 youth group well somwat of a youth group parents like to stay to
most ppl we had in our chourch was like 140-160 ppl just for my youth sevice is more

You guys are nuts. My wife would kill me if I played that much. Im on and off my ibanez rg total maybe 2 hours a day. Now for me its just a hobby. I like to make **** up as I go and free play. But to play for 6, 8, 12 hours. Man you guys must not have a job, family, life... :mad: Crazy.

I practice at least 4-5 hrs a day with a maximum being 14 hrs in one day.
Yea I have a job and a life but it doesnt involve much sleep. lol

about 5-12 hours, im on school holidays atm ;) I dont time and i dont spend all day "practicing" for of improisation which is kinda messed up 5-6 hours of straight improv is kinda crazed :D

I [U]play[/U] every day, 1-2 hours. I only [U]practice[/U] about 4 times a week. Thus the String Fumbler user name, eh? By practicing I mean a real regimen where I am actually trying to learn something new. You may laugh at this, but check out Mel Bay.com they have some great advice on "Life in the Woodshed"

:o Lol Since i'm completely new to the bass (not even a week yet lol) I practice about 6 to 8 hours a day, But the sad thing is i'm still getting no where lol o well...hopefully i will improve w/ time ^_^

Also, I think there is such a thing as over practising. I believe that sometimes your brain needs some time to absorb things.

Amen to that man.... I was wondering whether anyone was gonna say it... I practice 2 hours a day during the week, and then take the weekends off. I'm gigging now, so have 1 or 2 performances I prepare for, but no real practice.

I wonder what happens to the guy who practices 12 hours a day and either breaks his hands or turns out not to 'make it' for whatever reason. He sure as hell didn't have time for school with all that guitar practice so I guess he has the choice of working at a gas station, or McDonalds.... what a choice! :eek:

Seriously, there may not be much more to life than playing guitar, but there is more.... It's good to be dedicated, but obsessive is not so cool

I don't think playing 5 horus a day is too much.
