musicians...what is your practice regimen?

[Dead Winter]

I usually play about an hour and a half...an hour of study and exercises and about half an hour of going over our songs to make sure everything's perfect.

 

[Karmic]

2 times a month

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I never practice anymore unless it's to songwrite or record which is a few times a week.

 

[Dead Winter]

I have to practice a lot for my left hand. I have neglected it over the years...my solos fucking suck. My right hand is really fast, both downpicking and alternate picking, but my left hand needs about a solid year of work before I'll be able to do shredding runs.

 

[CYP450]

Since I started getting lessons from an ex-biomechanical guitarist in January I have learned more than in the previous year and a half. I aim for at least 2 hours a day but that falls considerably to maybe 30mins right before exams (ie: now).

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

Meh, I never practice anymore, though I sing all of the time. If I have to record or something like that I will practice scales etc. a few weeks before.
Which is the complete opposite of how I used to be. My practice regime at one point was Lessons for an hour once a week, practice scales/new lessons for about 5-6 hours daily....then band pratice for about 3 hours several times a week.

Since I have no band anymore it isn't worth doing all of that.

 

[Burti]

Generally everyday. At least two hours a day, and when I have more time more practice hours.

Sea of Lies still remains hard . A lot easier than it was a couple months ago, but still difficult.

 

[Will Bozarth]

0 hours. i only pick up an instrument when i play live or record... not even to write

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

You won't lose your grim vocals from not using them right?

 

[Will Bozarth]

it will take a minute or two to get them back, but that's about it

 

[Lordlucid]

I tend to Practice like once or twice a week.
I drum so it gets kinda hard with the neighbors bitching at me.

 

[Will Bozarth]

e-kit <3

 

[Shapeless)))]

e-kit <3

No sir.

I play about once a week with my e-kit, but it's so damn undynamic that I don't really get to learn anything of that.

Acoustic kit <3

 

[ShadowsWithin]

once a day, whether recording or just playing around.

 

[Lordlucid]

Bah, electronic kits are silly.

 

[Liverslapper]

i practice 28hrs a day, i have to time warp to get those extra hours....

The psycho exercises DVD pays off...

 

[Lordlucid]

Speed helps as well.

 

[Kiss The Void]

i practice 3 to 5 times a week for 2 hours at a time, plus whatever i do at work when the mood strikes me.

 

[Rebourne]

Everyday for as long as I can spare, I don't watch TV and stupid shit like that, and I record and write songs on the weekend. I just have nothing better to do and I haven't found anything I would rather be doing so...

You should try watching TV.
