I thought this would be a fun post:

If you can remember, or even if you have to estimate, how many hours do each of you think you have spent practicing the guitar so far in your life? This way we can all see how close we are to the goal of 10,000 hours (which is what they say it takes to master something)

Personally, I've been playing a little over 8 months, averaging 2 or 3 hours a day, so that comes out to roughly: 600 hours

What about you guys?

sadly, I think I "disprove" the 10,000 hour "rule." lol seriously, given the number of years I've played, I'd say I'm at about 6,000 hrs (conservative estimate).

Well 4,000 hours is still pretty far away. And maybe it just "clicks" exactly at the 10,000 hour lol
