Is it enough???

I play about 2 hours a day and i seperate this period of time in 3 pieces..30 minutes chromatic scales..30 minutes pull of hammer on and about 1 hour minor and major scales..Then if i have time and fun try to play solos from metal bands..Is it enough for someone who wants to play very good guitar someday???(Lets say like the guitarists who played in great metal bands..Randy roads??:))Well?

yeah, that's very enough somehow.

I only play 20-30 min a day these days (I'm studying elec. engineering), but in summer or whenever I have free time, I spend as much as I can with the guitar & bands. Sometimes over 10 hrs a day of guitar playing.

Yeah, 2 hours a day is cool, I try to do that much but it never works out like that as I have to study a feckin lot.

I know a person that practises no less than 8 hours a day. He has recently snagged the runner up prize in young guitarist of the year in the UK. He is an awesome guitarist and I have no doubt that he'll go on to have future success, so get practisin ;)

I´m sure that two hrs is enough but in order to develop even more you should play some more during vacation and than when work or school starts get down again to 2 hrs. keepin´ up and developing new stuff you learned during the increase time.

I started playn´ when I was 15 and played like 1-2 hrs but increased it all the time. Now I play 4 hrs. evryday and has been doin´ that for a long time. Somtimes I play 3 but mostly 4 wich I find enough. However I never end up playn´ 8 hrs day. I don´t think it´s good for your hands to sudenlly increase that much but that´s only my opinion do.

One more thing I realized that lot of you guys like to practice chromatic scale. I love that one too and it seems to be like most popular scale around. (I bet it´s only for us shredders).

Everybody likes shredding, admit it or not....at least to some extent
I personaly would never shred in a song of my band, cuz we don't play that kind of music but still I spend some time scratching over the chromatics.
And I really got inspired by you guys here because I felt somewhat intimidated when some of you said that he could play 16ths in 240 bpm and I was only around 150. Now I reached the comfortable 200 bpm, it's quite sloppy but I don't think I would go for more.

1-2-3-4- RULEZ!!!

No actually as a guitar player who tries to play the blues i can say that chromatic scale is also very useful in blues and rock blues songs/ solos.

That´s true zepp. Chromatic stuff is only for shred and classical stuff too.

i wish i could practise that much. i'm always and next year i'm off to boarding school. i'm going to love it but there is barely enought practise time.
