... play your instrument?

Guitar, bass, whatever. How often do you work on your music? Be honest and it could be interesting to find out the results

Thanks for playing!

I play everyday even if its only for 2 mins.

This is about frequency, not hours spent. If it's every day, even a couple of songs counts.

I've been a BAD boy...

Only a few times a week, just been SO busy with family matters...

NORMALLY everyday, but lately, Tuesday practice night, Saturday run through the 40 or so songs....

Sunday, most of the day...about 7 to 9 hours.

A rare days goes by without...

I have to play something or else I'd wither up and die. And we wouldn't want that now, would we?

How about you, Kira?? Hmmmmm????

Seven to nine hours? Wowzer. I have to hand it to you, Tony, even if it's just for one day. I have a hard time spending 7 to 9 hours with anything. I even get tired of myself after 7 to 9 hours.

I sleep, eat, and discuss the world news with mine. They're part of my daily rhythm of life. I work one half practicing stuff I already know, one quarter noodling and learning new songs, and one quarter making new stuff up, I guess.

no enough spent playing cause im either on the RRF or emailing you numpties or on MSN talking rubbish and failing that waffling on Skype!!!!!!!!!!!! and its all your fault nobody warned me that rickenbackers turns you into a rickaddict.mind you i have made fantastic friends here and there.

Yeah, completely, Scotty; being part of the RRF definitely turns one into a Rick addict. My Ricks are more of a Ferrari type guitar, wrt feedback issues when using OD/Distortion, relative to my Gretsches, but I am compelled to play Ricks at almost every gig because they're so freakin' cool!

Every day/other day.

Playing is a hobby of mine, it's just natural for me to pick up a guitar and play (just like yesterday).

LoL, well Stan....2 hours during the am service....4 hours for the full set practice & pm service.....and depending how spent I am, I practice in between as much as I can. The pm service is rocking material, so I like to have it down pat when I show up...I HAVE to sight read, so I like to run through stuff a few times first. SOMETIMES, we run through new material after the service as well.

Don't even talk to me about Easter and Christmas! BAH! HUMBUG!
One Christmas Eve I played the 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, 7pm, 10 & Midnight..

I'm never without an instrument. Lately it's been fiddle & mandolin.
