This debacle never seems to end! I play guitar every day in some way, shape or form; be it recording, writing, practicing, or just having fun. I believe that as long as you are playing regularly and enjoying it that is never time wasted. However, if there are certain things that you are hung up on a daily regimen is always great.

What things are you looking to get better at specifically? Perhaps we can develop a good, realistic practice regimen for you. Let me know :D
