    I've bin playing a lot lately and my fingertips are all cut up. I don't think I'm gonna' be able to give them time to heal for a while.

    I once stupidly sliced my finger with a scalpel and had to play a gig with a plaster over it. Not very nice.

    I don't practice, I just have fun and play... lately it hasnt been that much, maybe 3 to 4 hours, but Syra's got a job now so I'll be playing prolly 10 or more hours a day... home school rocks. :D

    I don't learn from tabs much at all anymore, I find that learning other peoples' stuff is boring, unless I'm working on a cover of my own, like an acoustic cover of Satisfaction I've been working out for the last couple of days..
    If I've played all my songs to the point where I'm confident with them, and have writer's block, then I'll mess with theory for a bit. A couple months ago theory was all I did, 12 to 13 hours a day, and I learned less in all that time than I do in the little that I play now. (o_O)

    2 or 3 hours a day at least. Sometimes on weekends I jam all night long.

    That's why I never learned theory or learned to read music :D. I just started listening to music for about 12-14 hours a day and I got an ear for it while jamming to it.

    Yeah, I'm beginning to recognize notes and chords just from playing along with recordings... I never thought I'd ever be able to do that :D

    I've never managed to do that, no matter how hard I tried. Just don't have an ear for music :(

    I could never work with chords. Id get the root but could never work up from there.

    ..anyway,it depends. I could play for 20 minutes or a few hours. Sweep picking has taken up a load of time recently..

    Well, I'm very shuffle-based, sometimes arpeggio'd, with my chords.... I end up doing shuffles and blues/jazz solos... a lot of pentatonic based things.
