On average, how many hours a week do you practice and/or play guitar?

[oops, spelled other wrong for option 8 ]

i have been playing for 36 years. i have learned quite a bit, but i still put in an hour a day plus a few hours on sunday if i don't gig that weekend.

it keeps the fingers limber and hardened. also, i try to pick a new lick and incorporate it in my playing every week.

I only get to play a couple of hours a week with work and everything, plus I'm going to Iraq in a few weeks so it's going to be tough to get much playing done.

I hope you'll have a safe tour.

I normally get about an hour a day in. I haven't gigged in over 25 years and just returned to playing a couple of years ago. I'm much better now than I when I gigged. Too bad I don't really have time for a band anymore.

 

[12guitdown]

I try to get 1-2 hrs. a day. Depends on my work sched.

 

[Simto]

11-20.. i wish i had more time though... it's pretty much the only thing i can 100% focus on.

 

[PFCG]

atleast 40, its a full time job

 

[bluesjuke]

I'm the 21-30 guy.
Would be more if I didn't have to work.

 

[shane8]

practice ~0

play ~10

 

[fyrwyr]

I try to wiggle my fingers at least 15 minutes a day, just to stay somewhat in shape...

 

[sinner]

2 hours in the morning, 3-4 hours at night after work, maybe get an hour while at work, Total: 42 hours a week

and I still suck, but improving.

I do 1-2 hours during the week, and 4-5 Sat and Sun.

 

[geoangus]

I don't play so much anymore, 2-5hrs/week, on a good week. Back 20 years ago when I played alot, maybe a 2-3 hours per day. But seldom through an amp (gear was stored at the bassist's house). Looking back, I would have rather spent 2-5 hours a week learning tone rather than tunes.

 

[dumbell78]

2-5 here, I wish I could find more time to play especially practice and learn.

 

[Voodoo Blues]

I do 1-2 hours during the week, and 4-5 Sat and Sun.

Same here.

I sort of guessed that if most players averaged 1 hour a day the 6~10 would lead the poll, and so far that is the case.

For you folks playing 21 or more hours a week, amazing! The guitar must feel like an extension of your arms and hands! I don't think my wrists and fingers could handle that much playing time. I'm jealous!

:BEER

 

[benjammin420]

at least 2 hours a day, plus weekly band practice

 

[Blingdogg]

I play an hour each day after coming home from work. Sometimes a bit more, like an hour and a half.

On the weekends usually about an hour-long session each day for Saturday and Sunday too, but there are times when I play two sessions each day.

So I voted 6-10 hours.

 

[RC2]

At least 3 hours a day 5 days a week.
