Guitar mastery: How many hours do you need to practice?

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

I found shorter more frequent practice sessions to be more effective. I try to do 30-50 minutes twice a day.

[@phishcatt]

This applies to learning anything BTW.

What often happens to me is that I tell myself that i'll practice for two hours or so but then get so caught up in it that I end up playing a lot longer, to the point where I have to tell myself tot put the guitar down as I have other things that need to get done.

[@FilippaArendt]

I practice 90 min per day and Saturday and Sunday is 3 hours each. So about 13-14 hours per week.

[@gigabrad4570]

I play that amount in two days man 🤣

It shouldn't be a chore. Looking forward to practising is the mindset to have. You need to be a bit or very obsessive about it.

[@guitarmastery]

Totally!

[@Mesa3077Boogie]

I'm inspired by this video bro. Thank you!

[@congerscott6064]

It is a proven fact that the more you do something the better you get at it, i play bass guitar and it is a obsession for me, i love it and can't get away from it, if i play 8 or 10 hours a day im really not satisfied, it might be a sickness, i don't know, but like i said, i❤it, been playing like this for 10 years 👍.

[@nycstev]

Great motivational speaker

[@nuke1upgames913]

honestly, i been playing off and on a long time and I've never played more than 2 hours a day i showed a ton of improvement. if u listen to some of the best guitar players they play all day or 12 hours a day and that's a fact.

I play 6-8 hours per day sometimes it goes up to 12 hours. And yes he is right! You shouldn't have to think about time.

[@maxmustermann-hf7vw]

serious question, then: what do you practice for that long? Ive been playing for 3 years, and unfortunatly in the last couple of months my desire to play has gotten less and less. I listen to prog metal, and i must say that im already quite qood for the amount of time ive played, but it feels like that is only the handling kinda good, doest feel like ive progressed beyond that at all. i just want to be able to play again...

[@smallville8865]

They don’t practise or play for that long, they’re talking rubbish.

[@foley001]

@@maxmustermann-hf7vw why not try playing some jazz?

[@petergriffin383]

I know I'm late but I'll practice 2-3 hours after work and 7-8 hours on the weekends. I have no concept of time when I play/practice, I look to see what time it is and realize 5 hours have passed and I still haven't gotten enough playing in to feel satisfied, so I continue. I dont have many friends so really I don't do much other than play.

[@clenjones5748]

Peter Griffin how come you don’t have many friends, friend?

[@edwarduy2767]

This is my problem. I'm 30 now and I wanna continue to play and become a master but I'm not sure if I can do it. I have job. Kids. Responsibility, I'm not sure if I can still make it 😔

[@GlitchingBad]

You absolutely can, it'll take time, and patience but if you have a strong practice regimen you'll make it by 40

[@reversecard5641]

i like playing it but i have no patience and im just too lazy i get annoyed easily

[@nakiarobby3996]

Same that's my problem and I don't know how to stay motivated 😭😭🙄

[@dwhizzledizzle3538]

I've been a guitar player for 36 years now. I never "practiced". I just picked it up and messed with it and one day, everything just clicked. From then on, I just listened to my favorite guitarists and learned to copy what they were doing. I never tried to learn scales or theory. I never timed my practice time. I applied this technique to bass, keyboards and drums as well. Don't try so hard and it will come to you.

[@dwhizzledizzle3538]

With that attitude, you are correct, it will not.

[@battub7384]

Dwhizzle Dizzle I think you're just too lazy or discouraged person. Just practice...

[@lemonsguitar]

I have the problem of slipping through practice in to playing songs

[@guitarmastery]

Focus.

[@1962starchild]

What if your working and have family if you can do 2 hours a day you will progress

[@AviG789]

Dude with two hours a day of real practice you'll for sure progress! (You'd progress with 15 minutes a day too but not very quickly i guess)

[@asmrcharlie4605]

You are the MAN. Very enjoyable video

[@thecerealbacon25]

Can you learn guitar ang piano at the same time? I started learning piano a month ago. And I decided I also want to learn guitar. Can I learn it at the same time though?

[@DavidHanks90]

It's not going to hurt you other than it is going to take longer to learn them both than if you committed all that time into one of them.

[@thecerealbacon25]

David okay, thank you! But what if I try to learn 1 hr per instrument? Is that fine?

[@DavidHanks90]

@@thecerealbacon25 The mechanics of how you play are different enough that it won't be confusing like trying to learn french and spanish at the same time would be. If you have 2 hours a day and can devote 1 hour to each then more power to you. You'll probably even pick up some things that will help from one instrument to the other. Piano and guitar both allow you to play chords where as other types of instruments like brass instruments do not. You'll start to see certain patterns emerge on each instrument and that could crossover to a degree to the other. I only play guitar though and haven't played piano since I was a kid so I'm peculating a little here lol

[@drewperez7924]

What’s really sad about music is that the enjoyment of it never seems to start. The amount of time investment just to play at a beginner level, let alone be able to play and sing is unbelievable. It’s never been fun for me personally due to this but it’s a great art form. It’s just practice, practice every moment of free time and the art never begins because you don’t know how to express different concepts without endless amounts of theory, etc.
