I usually practice like 6 hours a day and sometimes to 10 max, granted its not all productive all the time but still its been working

It falls under both horizontal AND vertical growth. All the parts of the song you can play just fine you practice in horizontal growth, all the technically difficult parts you should practice during the vertical growth---using this method of course.


And you don't have to practice For JUST 45 minutes---It was more a post concerning making the MOST of whatever time you have. If you are just noodling for 6 hours, you are wasting time when you could be getting better. Not to say you shouldn't take breaks, do other stuff, etc, during the day or anything.
